entirely  included  in  one  exposure  are  filmed 
beginning  in  the  upper  left  hand  corner,  left  to 
right  and  top  to  bottom,  as  many  frames  as

PREFACE, 


Ar'Tt'il  il<'votii)j{  twfuty  years  to  NAUTICAL  PUBLICATIONS,  the 
Author  ol  ll>e  AMKRIOaN  COAST  I'l  LOT  isgiit*  the  e-ahtU  edition  oC 
lliat  iMvaluable  work  from  Ihr;  mHropoIis  ot  AiiicricH.  Here,  iiiduhtiy  and  per- 
Kcverance  shall  be  called  into  actiun,  uud  every  ei  cicavor  used  to  "guide  the 
Marinrr  throuf>h  the  pathlei>,s  ocean.  " 

it  has  been  tlie  object  of  the  editor,  in  each  aiiccewive  edition  of  tliis  work, 
to  obtain  all  the  inlormRtion  necefsary  to  render  it  a  correct  and  complete 
VILO'l  FOR  Tin:  WHOLt  A.MERICAN  COAST,  inciudinj;  the  \VKST 
INDIA  ISLANDS.  The  very  great  demand  for  every  impressipn,  since  its 
first  publication,  has  scarcely  atlbrded  him  opportuuity  tu  render  the  succeeding 
as  copiouH  as  the  subject  wilt  admit. 

Ot  the  many  improvements  which  the  science  of  navipalion  has  been  coo- 
tinualiy  recriving  iu  the  lapse  of  many  centuries,  since  the  invention  of  the 
compass,  perhaps  there  is  no  one,  which  in  its  ordinary  opjeration  on  maritime 
affairs,  embraces  a  greater  t<cnpe  of  practical  utility,  than  anraccurate  descrip- 
tion ol  llie  marine  boundaries  of  countries,  by  which  the  adventurous  mariner 
may  recognise  Ills  coast  at  a  distance ;  the  soundings  and  courses  of  channels, 
by  the  knowledge  of  which  he  sets  the  rock-l;ound  shore  nt  defiance  ;  and  the 
aspect  and  pro;)ertics  of  liarbours,  into  which  he  cnii  enter  with  setiirily^  and 
embay  himself  from  the  inclemency  of  the  eleoients.  This  remark  h  suggested 
with  the  more  confidence,  as  |t  results  from  Uie  comideration,  that  the  liie,  even 
of  tlie  most  experienced  Mariner,  is  more  endangered  as  he  approaclies  the  coast, 
Jiowever  correctly  he  may  be  acquainted  with  its  soundings  and  its  curvatures, 
than  it  is  when  exposed  to  the  billows  of  tlie  tempest,  which  agitates  tiie  mia 
ocean.  The  important  aid,  wldcb  the  learned  Navigator  derives  from  the  cal- 
culation of  the  longitude,  by  lunar  observptlons,  is  undoubtedly  ^mong  the  most 
distinguished  benefits  of  modern  nautical  improvement ;  arid  it  is  a  bratich  of 
iiaval  education  with  wliich  the  mariners  of  our  country  have  of  late  years  be- 
come generally  familiar.  When  the  spirit  of  adventure  had  extended  the  Ame- 
rican commerce  b  yond  the  capeo  of  either  continent,  what  was  before  useful,  be- 
came then  indis'pen:^ably  necessary,  that  navigation  should  be  taught  as  n  science 
to  the  conductors  of  onr  merchantmen,  and  it  was  snop  no  uncommon  spectacle 
to  behold  the  American  Engle,  lately  unused  to  spientific  restraipt,  shaping  his 
course  through  foreign  climes  by  the  rules  of  geometry.  The  charts  and  ma- 
rine directi«tns,  wiih  which  foreign  countries  !.^'»nd,  have  also  rendered  the 
profession  of  the  sea  less  daiigeroiis  and  more  piol;'.i«ble.  These  powerful  aids 
have  almost  every  where  been  extended  to  the  projection  and  encouragement  of 
commerce,  except  in  the  American  Statgi,  where,  till  within  a  few  years,  few 
charts  have  been  published,  eycept  those  copied  from  the  English,  one  of  wliicfa 
we  mention,  viz.  A  Cha it  extending  from  Cape  Corl  to  Havanna,  in  which  the 
latitudes  are  nbl  even  correct,  republished  in  Boston.  But  to  collect  in  a  com- 
pendious volume  the  most  autlientic  descriptioD  of  the  harbours,  and  an  accural^ 
detail  of  the  cour^^ee  and  soundings  of  the  American  coast,  has  long  been  a  deside- 
ratum among  nautical  and  ciimmercial  men  :  and  until  the  appearance  of  the  first 
edition  of  the  AMERICAN^  COA8T  PILOT,  in  1 706,  no  attempt,  we  bf;Iieve, 
iiad  ever  been  made  in  any  part  of  the  union  to  effect  it. — To  accomplish  so  im- 
portant as<>  <'ect,  which  was  embarrassect  with  more  than  the  ordinary  difficulties 
with  which  all  new  works  are  involved,  the  Editor,  actuated  by  a  priuciple  of  com- 
mercial benefit,  and  assisted  by  the  most  correct  and  experienced  Pilots  in  the 
United  States,  hazarded  the  publication  of  that  work,  under  auspices  by  no 
means  favorable  to  its  eventual  establishment,  as  a  book  of  reference  and  di- 
^(jctioos  to  American  mariners.     Incident  to  the  very  arduous  and  domplexna-

(lossible.  Iniprnveinents  highly  important  are  al^o  contained  in  the  plans  of  the 
principal  harbours  in  the  United  States.  In  tlie  present  edition  directions  for 
several  harbours  are  added,  and  minute  inijrmalion  given  to  those  already  pub 
fished,  which  renders  it  more  familiar  to  the  nmriner.  Several  alterations  hav-

portant,  and  sliould  not  be  ne<!leclcd  by  a  single  mariiiev.  A  Division  of  tiia

by  their  l.indlonis,  make  a  li;^rve.st  out  of  the  officers  of  their  sjiips,  the  laws  of

while  it  points  out  the  punishment  which  may  be  inflicted,  also  secures  the  sea- 
men from  cruel  eha^tiscnient.  The  law  to  establish  n  boaid  of  wardens  for  the

nud  we  uMert,  no  oiruer  or  seam  *n  should  pre^ur■l<;  to  nail  without  it.  While 
it  points  out  the  statutes  by  which  marinem  are  governed,  it  furnishefi  them 
with  measures  they  may  resort  lo,  « hen  misfortunes  assail  them,  where  implc 
satisliiciion  can  be  had.  The  tinlies  atlnched  lothe  Citstom  Hou>e  departmeiii 
are  fully  explaiTU'd,  and  it  is  recnnunended  to  every  pertion,  in  the  mercanlili^ 
line,  to  acqunint  hiniB(-lf  with  all  hiws  r«-lHtinK  thereto,  ui  unlawful  fees  have 
HometimGs  been  demanded  by  oflicers  employed  therein.  We  meut1outlii«  from 
correct  nnthority,  and  chaUeiigc  invest i(;ntioit. 

In  atldilion  to  the  certificates  which  have  been  selected  from  more  than  one 
hundred,  as  testimonials  oflhe  merit  of  the  AMEUICVN  COAST  PILOT,  we 
subjoin  the  followin|r,  which  will  at  one  view  prove  the  ubt«olute  necesbity  this 
work  should  be  used  by  every  man  who  navijtntes  the  American  coast.  Th«r 
first  is  copied  from  the  Ncwbutyport  Herald,  oHJa/i.  13,  I  GO  t,  ^^Itcbted  to  by  the 
captain. 

"  It  must  be  a  gratifyin<;  circiimstawc  to  tlie  rummerctal  world,  that  elements 
of  uavifl;alioii  are  found  so  accurate  and  complete,  that  the  marhicr  can  navigatr 
his  vesiel  into  the  most  dUnicult  Imrbours  on  the  AmericaD  coast,  with  no  other 
pilot  than  what  he  can  at  all  times  carry  in  his  pocket.  It  is  probably  an  im- 
portant fact,  which  speaks  in  tlattcriii^  terms,  that  Capt.  FaMen,  of  JCcnnebunk, 
■who  run  into  this  harbour  in  diiUresi:,  on  Sunday  cveii'iig,  owes  the  precervaiiou 
of  his  vessel,  ami  the  lives  of  his  crew,  to  tlie  instructions  given  in  BLlJKT'i* 
AMliRlCAN  COAST  PILOT." 

The  followinp  Is  taken  from  the  Ifewhtrryporl  Herald  of  June  21,  1308.    ' 

"  A  sloop  belonging  to  Dartmouth,  from  Ktniub'ck,  with  lumber,  in  the  vi0> 
lent  blow  of  Saturday,  upset  1 6  leagues  from  out  bar,  her  deck  load  was  washed 
oil',  when  she  righted,  and  came  in  by  Ihc  afsi«tance  of  ELUIVT'S  COAST 
I'lLOT,  nearly  full  of  water;  the  inasler's  name  is  Gideon  Hickctson,  who  had 
enly  three  men  on  board ;  they  lashed  themselves  on  deck,  and  iii  this  situation 
came  in." 

With  such  pretensions  to  public  patronage,  the  editor  is  not  reluctant  in  mci*' 
ing  the  public  scrutiny.  The  merits  of  his  work  are  grounded  oil  the  best  sci- 
ence in  the  country,  and  every  exertion  of  long  and  laborioui)  indui^try  has  been 
employed  in  executing  its  pages  with  the  strictest  accuracy  aiul  fidelity,  that  were 
due  toils  high  promise  of  uscfuluesg and  emolument.  ^

Landing  on  this  island  with  boats  is  practicable  oti  the  north  aide,  alter  a  continu. 
ance  of  j^ood  weather  only.     The  whole  island  is  composed  of  line  white  sand,

and  beaches  b<  tweeii  them.    Albion  cliff  is  rocky,  and  remark'  ble  Idgh  andstecn! 

In  sailing  ihrongh  the  gut  of  Caoso,  ships  pass  between  it  and  the  isles  of  Cau- 
bo,  which  are  Mirrouuiled  wilji  many  !ow  white  rocks,  and  breakers  extending 
IVoni  them.  The  south  shore  of  the  bay  of  Chcthiburto  is  iron  bound  and  strep 
loo;  and  the  north  shore  mostly  red  cliffs  and  beaches.  From  the  soulhern  en- 
trance northwards  through  the  gut,  the  west  shore  is  high,  rocky  and  steep;  and 
the  east  shore  is  low,  with  be:iches  to  the  north  end  of  the  gut ;  whence  lo  port 
Hood,  there  are  high,  rocky  red  cliffs;  and  on  the  western  shore  of  George's  bay, 
lelwecn  the  gut  aud  cape  George,  aie several  very  remarkable  clilla  of'^plasier' 
which  appear  extremely  white.  Cape  George  is  irou  bound  and  very  high,  its 
top  being  4«0  feet  above  the  level  of  the  sea ;  about  halfway  lietwein  "it  and  port 
Luttrell  lies  the  barn  (a  remarkable  high  largt;  rock)  from  the  resemblance  to 
wliich,  it  lakes  its  name;  anfl  from  tlie  barn  to  port  Luttrell,  Pitou  harbour, 
Tatniegoushe,  Ilamsheg,  Linzee  j-iver  and  bay  Vette,  aud  as  far  as  port  Cliediack 
and  Cocaignc,  the  shore  is  bound  with  red  cliffs  aud  beaches  under  them.  The 
inland  country  between  Ere<U:rick's  bay  and  the  bason  of  Cobequid,  appear  re- 
markably high  to  vessels  in  the  offing. 

From  Caiibo,  westward  to  Torbay,  the  shore  makes  in  several  white  rocky 
heads  and  points;  liere  the  country  is  much  broken ;  and  near  White-head  ma- 
ny white  stones  appear  from  the  offing,  like  sheep  in  the  woods ;  thence  to  Lis- 
comb  harbour  there  are  haoks  of  red  earth  and  beaches,  ami  from  Liscomb  har- 
bour to  the  vuggerl  islands  (excepting  the  white  islamls,  which  are  white  roc^ks) 
the  capes  and  outer  islands  arc  bound  with  black  slaty  rocks,  generally  runniii" 
out  in  spits  from  cast  to  west;  and  from  the  rugged  islands  to  the  D<  viPs  islanri^ 
at  the  entrance  of  the  harbour  of  Halifax,  you  have  several  remarkable  steep  rc(l 
cliffs  linked  with  beaches. 

From  Halifax,  westward  to  Charlotte  bay,  the  country  from  t!ie  offing  is  very 
rocky  and  broken;  the  shore  ia  steep  too,  and  bound  with  white,  rocky  cliffs. 
The  liigh  lands  of  Ilaspotageeii,  on  the  cast  side  of  .Meckleubitigh  bay,  are  very 
remarkable;  from  wlience,  proceeding  westward,  the  rocks  wliich  surroiind  ihfj 
shore  are  black,  with  some  banks  of  ted  earth.  Bet  ween  Cape  Le  Haoe  (which 
is  a  remarkable  promontory,  bald  on  the  top,  with  a  red  bank  under  it,  facing  the 
south  westward)  and  Port  Jackson,  there  are  some  hummocks  within  land,  about 
which  the  country  appears  low  and  level  from  the  sea ;  and  on  the  shore  white 
rocks  and  stony  beaches,  with  several  low  bald  points,  from  whence  to  Port 
Campbell  the  land  is  woody.  About  the  entrance  of  Port  Haldimand,  and  with- 
in land,  are  several  barren  spots,  which,  from  the  offing,  are  easily  discerned  j 
from  whence  to  Cape  Sable  the  laud  appears  level  and  low  ;  and  on  the  shore 
arc  some  cliffs  of  exceeding  white  sand,  particularly  in  fh'^  entranre  of  Port  Hal-

danscr  about  St.  Peter's,  but  what  lies  v^.-ry  near  the  sliorc. 

The  island  of  Columbnis  a  small  circuit,  b'jt  pr.lly  high,  and  lies  vorj-  near 
Hie  N.  K.  point  of  St.  Peter's;  between  them  is  a  very  good  pansage,  |of  a  mile 
widi\  when  ill  is  12  fathoms  water.  On  the  north  side  of  tiic  islan.J  is  a  rock 
pretty  high  above  wuttf  called  Little  Colunibo:  and  about  a  quarter  of  a  inile 
.V.  E.  from  this  rock  U  a  suiikcn  rock,  whereon  is  2  fathoms  water. 

The  island  of  Lan.ly,  which  lies  on  the  N.  W.  side  of  St.  Tcter's  is  about  C 
leagues  in  circuit,  of  u  .sodta-ate  and  pretty  erjual  liciglit,  except  the  north  end, 
whrdi  is  a  low  point,  with  .sand  hills  along  it;  it  is  flat  a  little  way  off  the  loir 
land  on  both  vi.les  of  it;  but  all  the  high  part  of  the  island  is  very  IwUl  ton,  ami 
tiie  passage  between  it  and  St.  IVtei's  (which  is  1  leagt'c  broad)  is  clear  of  dan- 
ger. You  may  anchor  on  the  N.  K.  side  of  the  island,  ,i  little  to  the  southward 
of  the  San<l  Hills,  in.')  and  6  fathoms,  a  fine  sandy  bottom,  slicltercd  Irom  the 
S'.nilhcrly,  S.  W.  and  X.  \V.  winds. 

From  the  north  point  of  Langly,  to  the  south  point  of  the  island  of  Miciuelon 
is  about  1  mile;  it  is  snid  that  a  few  years  since  they  joined  together  at  this  place 
by  a  neck  of  sand,  which  the  sea  has  washed  away  and  made  a  channel,  wherein, 
is  2  fathom*  water.  The  i>lan.l  of  Miquelon  is  4  leagues  in  length  from  north 
to  «;<mtli,  but  of  an  unequal  hieadlh ;  the  middle  of  the  island  is  high  land,  call- 
o<l  the  high  L-ind  of  Dunn;  but  down  by  the  shore  it  is  low,  <i\cept  Cape  Mique-  , 
lo-i,  wliich  is  a  lofty  promontory  at  the  northern  extremity  of  the  island. 

On  the  S.  E.  side  of  the  island,  to  the  southward  of  tlie  highland,  is  n  pretty 
large  bar  harbour,  called  Dunn  Harbour,  whirli  will  admit  fishing  shoHops  at 
half  flood,  but  can  never  be  of  any  utility  for  a  fishery. 

Miqueloo  Rock  stretches  off  from  the  east  point  of  the  island,  under  the  high 
land  1  mile  and  a  ^  to  the  eastward,  some  are  above  and  some  under  water;  the 
otitermost  of  these  rocks  are  above  water,  and  you  have  1 2  fathoms  ckse  to  them, 
and  18  and  20  fathoms  1  mile  off.  N.  E.  ^  N.  4  or  5  miles  from  these  rocks 
lies  Miquelon  bank,  whereon  is  6  fathoms  water. 

The  road  of  Miquelon  (which  is  large  and  spacious)  lies  at  the  north  end,  and 
on  the  east  side  of  the  island,  between  Cape  Miquelon  and  a  very  remarkable 
lound  mountain  near  tlie  shore,  called  Ohancau.x .  Off  thp  south  point  of  thft

BESCniPTIOX  OF  FORTUNE  DAY. 

ForttuicHay  Ls  very  Iar<se;  the  entrance  is  formed  by  Point  May  nnd  P.iss 
Island,  wUitli  are  \'.l  leaanis  N.  by  I",  and  S.  by  VV.  from  each  other,  and  il  is 
about  2.'J  lcaj.'U(s  dup,  wherein  are  a  greal  many  bays, harbours  and  ihl;iii(la. 

The  island  ol  nnniei  is  situated  nearly  in  the  middle  of  the  iiilrance  into  For- 
tune Ba)  ;  it  is  about  i  lea^inea  in  circuit,  and  of  a  tolerable  hci«;lit ;  the  east  end 
appears,  at  some  points  of  \  lew,  like  i^  lands,  by  reason  it  is  very  low  and  narrow 
In  two  places.  On  the  \.  F,.  side  of  the  island  is  a  bay,  wherein  ia  tolerable  g(md 
niichorn^e  for  .^'hijisin  1 4  and  10  fathoms, fhellered horn  southerly  and  westerly 
winds;  you  must  not  run  Uvt  far  in  for  fear  of  some  MUtkrn  rof,ks  in  the  botttoni 
(if  it,  a  quarter  of  a  mile  from  the  shove  ;  cppo^ite  this  bay,  on  the  nouih  i^de  of 
llie  islmd,  is  a  small  cove,  wlu  rein  small  vei-'sels  and  shallops  can  lie  pretty  fc- 
fine  from  the  weather,  in  0  lathomn  water:  in  the  middle  of  the  cove  is  a  r«M:k 
alove  water,  n.id  a  channel  on  each  side  e.f  it.  Thi;  islands  lying  at  the  wesi: 
end  of  Brnnc  t,  called  Little  Krune!s.  afford  indifTerent  shelter  for  shallops  in 
blowing  weather;  you  may  approach  these  islands,  and  the  ifland  of  Bruiiet, 
uitliin  a  quarter  of  a  mile  all  roiind,  there  being  no  danger  btit  what  lies  very 
near  the  shore. 

Plate  Island*  are  three  rocks  of  a  moderate  height,  lying  S.  W,  1  league  from 
the  west  end  of  Great  Bruiiet.  The  soul hernmost  and  outermost  of  these  rocks 
lioW.  by  S.  half  S.  11  miles  from  CapeMiquelon,  and  in  a  direct  line  betwccftt 
I'oint  May  and  Pass  Islainl,  17  milts  from  the  former,  and  19  from  the  latter; 
h.  K.  a  quarter  of  a  mile  from  the  Great  Plate  (whieh  is  the  northernmost)  is  a, 
iimikcn  i"ock,  whereon  the  sea  breaks,  which  is  the  only  danger  about  them. 

There  are  several  strong  8n<l  irre<.'ulnr  settings  of  the  tides  or  currents  about 
the  Plate  and  Brunet  Islands  which  seem  to  have  no  dependency  on  the  moon, 
and  the  course  nf  the  tides  on  the  coast. 

The  island  of  8agona,  which  lies  N.  N.  E.  two  leagues  from  the  east  end  of 
Rrunet,  is  about  S^MJjp  x"''  ^  half  in  circuit,  of  a  moderate  height,  and  bold  too 
alh-ound ;  at  the  9^.  end  Is  a  small  creek  that  will  admit  fishing  shallops ;  in 
the  middle  of  the  entrance  is  a  fuiikcn  rock,  which  makes  it  exceeding  narrow, 
and  difTicuIl  to  get  in  or  out,  except  in  fine  weather. 

Point  May  is  the  tonthern  extremity  of  Fortune  Bay,  and  the  S.  W.  extremity 
of  this  pa»t  of  Newfoundland ;  it  may  be  known  by  a  great  black  rock  nearly 
joining  to  the  pitch  of  the  point,  and  something  higher  than  the  land,  which  makes 
it  look  like  a  black  hummcck  on  the  point ;  near  a  quarter  of  a  mile  right  olT 
from  the  point,  or  this  round  black  rock,  are  three  tuukcn  rocks  whereon  the  sea 
always  breaks.

and ;  tli;'y  are  of  a  tolerable  height,  and  bold  too  all  round. 

Bdwcen  I)o<r  Islan<l  and  Lord  and  liady  Island,  which  lies  off  the  south  |)ni.t 
of  Corbel)  bay,  is  a  sunken  rock,  (somewhat  nearer  to  Lord  and  Ladj ,  than  Do;;

Bo.vy  Point  on  with  the  iiorih  end  of  St.  .Taqiies  Island. 

Two  miles  to  the  westward  of  IJaiule  de  l/i'rier,  is  the  liarbouv  of  St.  Jaques, 
which  may  be  eas>ily  known  by  the  island  before  it.  This  ii-laiid  is  hi^h  at  each

E.  8i  Icacues  from  the  Cape  of  Grand  bank,  and  ^.  E.  by  E.  7  leagues  from  the 
fsast  end  of  Brunei.  The  passage  into  the  harbour  is  on  the  west  fride  of  the  ii-1- 
:ind;  there  is  not  the  least  danger  in  goin?  in,  or  in  any  part  of  the  harbour;  you 
may  anchor  in  any  depth  from  17  to  4  fathom?. 

Two  miles  to  the  westward  of  St,  .Tuques  is  the  harbour  of  Blue  Pinion ;  it  U 
not  near  so  large,  or  so  saf*  as  that  of  St.  Jaques ;  near  to  tlie  head  of  the  har- 
bour, on  the  west  side,  is  a  shoal,  wlicveou  is  two  fathoms  at  low  water. 

A  little  to  the  westward  of  Blue  Pinion  is  E;i2li>h  Cove,  which  is  very  small,

On  the  tiiirih  iulc  of  St  John^  llesid  are  two  rocky  islauds,  called  the  Ciull 
and  Shajr;  at  the  west  endot  thei^c  islands  are  some  t^nnken  rocks.

To  the  westward  of  Bay  do  Lean,  3  miles  N.  jN  W.  from  St.  John's  Head  is 
I..ittle  Bay  Bariisw  ay,  on  :lie  west  side  of  wiiich  is  good  anchorage  for  large  ships 
in  7,  8.  or  10  fathoms  water;  here  is  good  fishing convcnienci<'s,  with  plenty  of

ny conveniencies  for  ft  hing  vef^scls. 

Opposite  to  ihv  S.  W.  arm,  is  the  N.  K.  arm,  or  Jej^eyman's  Harbour,  which 
is  capiible  of  holding  a  great  number  of  ships  securely  sheltered  from  all  winds. 
To  sail  iii'o  it  you  must  keep  the  point  of  Thompson's  beach,  (which  is  the  beach 
])oint  at  the  entrance  into  the  S.  W.  arm)  open  of  Jerseyman's  head,  (wliirli  is 
a  high  bhiff  liea<l  at  the  north  cntrmce  into  Jerseymnn's  harbour)  this  mark  will 
lead  you  over  the  bar  in  the  best  of  the  channel,  where  you  will  have  3  fathoms 
at  low  water ;  as  soon  as  you  open  the  harbour,  haul  up  north,  and  anchor  where 
it  is  most  convenient,  in  3,  7,  or  6  faihoms  water,  good  ground,  and  sheltered 
from  all  wimis.  In  this  harbour  are  several  convenient  places  for  erecting  many

DESCRIPTION  OF  THE  BAY  OF  DESPAIH. 

The  entrance  of  the  bay  of  Des[»air  lies  between  the  west  cud  of  Long  islar.tl 
and  Great  Jervis  island,  (an  island  in  the  mouth  of  the  harbour  of  the  same  name,) 
the  distance  from  one  to  the  other,  is  1  mile  and  a  |-,  and  in  the  middle  between 
them  is  no  soundings  with  230  fathoms. 

The  bay  of  Despair  forms  2  capacious  arms,  one  extending  to  the  N.  E.  f; 
leagues,  and  the  other  to  the  northward  5  leagues ;  in  the  north  arm  is  very  de<p 
water,  and  no  anchorage,  but  in  the  small  bays  ami  coves  which  lay  on  each  tide 
of  it.  At  the  head  of  tlie  bay  of  the  east,  which  is  an  arm  of  the  north  bay,  is 
:i  very  fine  salmon  river,  and  plenty  of  wood.  In  the  N.  E.  arm  of  the  bay  of 
Despair  are  several  arms  and  islands,  and  tolerable  good  anchorage  in  tome  parts 
of  it.  Little  river  and  Corme  river  are  counted  good  places  for  salmoti  fisheries : 
About  these  rivers  and  the  head  of  the  bay  are  great  plenty  of  all  sorts  of  wood 
common  to  this  country,  such  as  fir,  pine,  birth,  witch-hazle,  spruce,  &c.  AH 
the  country  about  the  entrance  into  the  bay  of  Despair,  and  for  a  good  way  up 
it,  is  very  mountainous  prid  barren,  but  about  the  head  of  the  bay  it  appears  to 
be  pretty' level,  and  well  cloathed  with  wood. 

Gr«at  Jervis  harbcur  is  situated  at  the  west  entrance  into  the  hay  of  Despair, 
Is  a  snug  and  safe  harbour,  with  good  anchorage  in  every  part  of  it  in  10, 18  or  20 
fathoms;  though  but  small,  will  contain  a  great  number  of  shipping,  securely 
sheltered  from  all  winds,  and  very  convetdent  for  wooding  and  watering.  There 
is  a  passage  into  this  harbour  on  either  side  of  Great  Jervis  island,  the  southern- 
most is  the  safest,  there  being  in  it  no  danger  but  the  shore  itself.  To  sail  in  on 
(ho  north  side  of  the  island,  you  iinist  keep  in  the  middle  of  the  passage,  until  you 
■re  within  two  s  mall  rocks  above  water  near  to  each  otheij^on  your  starboard  side, 
a  little  within  the  north  point  of  the  passage;  you  must  tlTen  bring  the  said  north 
point  between  these  rocks,  and  steer  into  the  harbonr  in  that  direction,  which  will 
cariy  you  clear  of  some  «:i:'!ken  rocks  which  He  off  the  west  point  of  (he  island  r

for  large  ships  is  at  the  head  of  the  bay  in  12  or  11  fallioms,  clear  ground,  and 
convenient  for  wooding  and  watering.  On  the  west  t^iilc  of  the  buy,  abreast  of 
Drake  island,  is  a  v(;ry  snug  harbour  for  small  vc^sels,  wlurein  is  7  fathinis  wai';r. 
and  good  convenicncies  for  a  fishery ;  oil'  the  south  point  of  the  entrance  ire  some 
sunken  rocks  about  a  cable's  length  from  the  shore.  On  the  N.  "W.  side  <^f  the 
great  island,  within  the  2  small  islands,  is  very  good  anchorage  in  10,  2(\  !ui(''2-l 
fathoms  witer  shtlicred  from  all  winds.  The  passage  into  this  place  to  tin  west- 
ward of  the  great  island  from  the  sea  is  very  dangerous,  by  reason  there  an-  fev 
cral  sunken  rocks  iu  Mie  passage,  and  slallow  water;  but  there  is  a  very  good 
passage  in:o  it  from  llie  bay,  passiii"  to  the  uorlhwaiil  of  the  2  .-mall  islands,  be- 
tween them  and  the  west  shore,  in  sailing  in  or  out  of  the  bay  you  must  riot 
approiicli  too  near  the  south  point  of  the  Great  island,  because  of  s.ome  sunken 
Focks  which  lie  a  quarter  of  u  mile  from  the  shore. 

A  little  to  the  westward  of  Bonne  bay,  between  it  and  Facheux,  Is  Mti  ket:; 
cove,  a  small  inlet,  wherein  is  fioMi  30  to  47  fathoms  of  water. 

The  entrance  of  the  bays  of  Facheux  and  Dragon,  lies  west  4  miles  from  nonue 
bay,  and  N".  W.  by  N.  near  3  leagurs  from  I'ass  island;  this  entrance  is  very 
f  oMspicuous  at  sta,  by  which  this  part  of  the  coa-t  is  easily  known.  Facheux', 
which  is  the  easternmost  branch,  lies  in  north  2  leagues,  and  is  |  of  a  mile 
broad  in  the  narrowest  part,  whicli  is  at  the  entrance,  witli  deep  water  in  most 
parts  of  it.  One  mile  up  the  hay  on  the  w  est  side  is  a  cove,  wherein  is  anchorage 
in  10  fathoms,  with  gradual  soundings  into  the  shore,  and  a  clear  bottom  ;  and 
fiirther  up  the  bay.ou  the  same  side,  are  2  other  coves,  wherein  is  anchorage,  and 
plenty  of  wood  and  water.  Dragon  bay  lies  in  W.  N.  W.  I  league,  and  is  near  4  a 
mile  brotd,  wherein  is  60  and  70  fathoms  water,  and  no  anchorage  till  you  come 
to  the  head,  and  then  you  must  be  very  near  the  shore  to  be  iu  a  moderate  depth 
of  w.iter. 

Oue  mile  to  the  westward  of  Faclieux  is  little  hole,  whrrciii  isslielter  for  shal- 
lops. And  one  league  to  the  westward  of  Facheux  is  Richard's  liarbour,  a  smi» 
place  for  small  vessels  and  fishing  shallops,  w  herein  is  not  more  than  23  fathoms. 
The  cast  point  of  this  harbour  is  a  very  conspicuous  high  head,  ly  i'lg  W.  4  S.  7

resembles  a  s(i;;ar  loaf:  but  iu  order  to  (listingnish  this,  ycu  must  approach  the 
short!  at  least  wiihiii  3  leagues,  (unlefs  you  are  ilircctly  to  the  eastward  or  west- 
ward of  it)  otherwise  the  elevation  of  the  highland  within  it,  will  hinder  you  from 
distinsuishing  the  sugar  loaf  hill ;  but  the  capo  may  always  be  known  by  the  high

you  may  approach  thesa  islands  in  the  day  lime  to  half  a  league  all  round,  there 
i  eing  no  danger  at  that  distance  off.  On  the  S.  VV.  sicfe  of  the  large  island,  which 
is  the  highest,  is  «  small  cove,  wherein  is  shelter.for  fishing  shallops,  and  good

wherein  are  shelter  for  small  v»;ss(ls,  and  coiiveniencies  for  fisheries ;  before  which 
are  several  smSll  islands,  niui  sunken  rocks  lyin;;  along  the  sliure,  biit  nomi  of 
them  lie  without  the  above  course.  la  bad  weather  the  sunken  rocks  all  disco-

the  course  into  the  bay  is  X.  \V.  by  N'.  keepiiix  the  east  point  on  Iward,  which  is

enough  for  building  of  shipping. 

The  S.  W.  pointof  the  entrance  into  Harbour  La  Cove,  called  Rose  Blanche

Cape  Anguillc  lies  G  Ica«:ue8  to  the  northward  of  Cape  Hay,  >\  E.  by  N.  17 
leagues  from  the  island  of  St.  Paul;  and  is  iu  the  latitude  of  47'-'  55'  N.  it  is  high 
land,  covered  with  wood;  2  miles  to  the  southward  of  this  eapc  lies  the  small 
island  atid  harbour  of  Cotl  lloy  before  described.  From  Cape  Anguille  to  Cape 
St.  George,  the  course  is  N.  J  E.  distant  1 1  leagues;  these  two  capes  form  the 
bay  of  St-  George,  which  lies  in  N.  E.  18  leagues  from  the  fonner,  and  east  li 
leagues  from  the  latter ;  at  the  head  of  this  bay  on  the  south  side  round  a  \o\t' 
|ioiut  of  land  is  a  very  good  harbour,  wherein  is  goo<l  anchorage  in  8,  10  or  12 
iathoms  Avatcr.  fir  several  parts  about  this  harbour  are  convenieut  places  for 
fishing  works,  with  large  beaches,  and  good  fishing  grouud  in  the  bay,  which 
early  in  the  spring  abound  wkh  fish,  and  formerly  was  much  fretjJiented ;  a  veiy 
considerable  river  empties  itself  into  the  head  of  this  bay,  but  it  is  not  navigable 
for  at?y  thing  but  boats,  by  reason  of  a  bar  across  the  entrance,  which  lies  expo- 
sed to  the  westerly  winds.  On  the  north  side  of  this  bay,  before  the  Isthmus  of 
Port-a-Port,  is  good  anchorage  in  7  or.  8  fathoms  water,  with  northerly  winds,- 
from  oflT  this  place  stretches  out  a  fishing  bank  two  tLirds  across  the  bay,  where- 
on is  from  7  to  18  fathoms  water,  a  dark  >^^an(iy  bottom. 

Cape  St.  George  lies  in  the  latitude  oi  Aii"  21/ ;  it  may  be  easily  known,  not 
only  by  its  being  the  nortli  point  of  the  Lmy  of  the  s.ime  name,  but  by  the  steep 
clifts  on  the  north  part  of  it,  which  rises  perpendicular  from  the  sea  to  a  consid- 
erable height,  and  by  Red  Island  wiiich  lies  5  miles  to  the  northward  of  the  cape, 
and  half  a  mile  from  the  shore :  This  island  is  about  I  league  in  circuit,  and  tol> 
crablc  high,  and  the  steep  clifls  round  it  are  of  a  reddish"  colour^  Under  the  N". 
E.  end  of  the  island,  and  before  a  sandy  cove  on  the  main,  which  lies  just  to  the 
□orthward  of  the  steep  clifts  is  anchorage  in  12  or  1 4  fathoms  water,  where  you 
arc  covered  from  the  S.  W.  winds  by  the  island,  and  from  tlie  southerly  and 
easterly  winds  by  the  main,  but  there  is  no  riding  hei-e  with  northerly  and  N. 
^V.  winds;  this  place  formerly  was  much  frequented  by  (ishers. 

From  Red  Island  to  long  Point,  at  the  entrance  into  the  bay  of  Port-a-Port, 
the  course  is  N.  52'  E.  distant  7  J-  leagues.  From  Red  Island  to  Guernsey  Isl

Jragues  and  2  miles. 

The  lind  between  Red  Island,  and  theeutrance  into  Port-a-Porl,  is  of  a  mod- 
erate heiglit,  or  rather  low,  with  sandy  beaches,  except  one  remarkable  high  hil- 
lock (called  Rounil-hea«l,)  close  to  the  shore,  and  is  2  leagues  to  the  N.  £.  of 
Picd  Island ;  but  up  in  the  country  over  Port-a-Port,  arc  lugh  lauds,  and  if  you 
are  -1  lcau;ue8  at  sea,  you  will  not  discern  the  Long  Point  of  land,  which  forms 
the  bay  of  Povt-a-Port:  This  bay  is  capacious  being  near  5  miles  broad  at  the 
entrance,  and  lies  into  the  southward  4  leagues,  with  good  anchorage  in  most 
jwi  Is  of  it.  The  west  point  of  (he  bay  (called  l^ng  Point,)  is  a  low  rocky  point, 
fidni  which  stretches  out  a  reef  of  rocks  N^.  E.  nearly  1  mile;  S.  E.  by  S.  4  mile^ 
f;om  Long  i'oint,  and  half  a  league  fronUhe  east  shore,  lies  Fox  Island,  whic''  is 
tni.ill,  but  tolerable  hisfli.;  fiom  the  north  end  of  this  island  stretches  out  a  shf  al, 
near  2  miles  to  the  noithwani,  calle<l  Fox's  Tails;  nearly  in  the  midille  ot  the 
hay.  between  the  island  and  the  west  shore,  lies  the  middle  ground,  on  one  jiace 
of  which,  near  the  S.  W.  end,  is  not  above  3  or  4  feet  water,  at  low  watc  rj 
at  the  head  of  the  bay,  is  a  low  point  called  Middle  Point,  stretching  out  into  the 
inidrllc  of  the  bay;  from  oil" this  point  is  a  shoal  pit,  which  extends  near  2  milee 
to  the  northwarjf,  part  of  which  dries  at  low  waAcr:  From  the  head  of  the  east 
hay  over  to  the  bay  of  St.  George,  is  a  little  more  than  a  quarter  of  a  mile :  this 
Isihnnisis  very  low,  witii  a  pond  in  tiic  middle  of  it,  into  which  the  sea  washes  in 
gales  of  windi?  from  the  southward  at  high  tides.  On  the  east  side  of  the  Isthmus 
js  a  tolerable  higli  mountain,  whicli  appears  flat  at  top,  and  rises  directly  from 
tJie  Isthmus,  on  tlie  north  side  of  this  mountain;  and  about  5  miles  from  the 
Isthmus  is  a  conspicuous  valley  or  hollow,  which,  together  with  Fox  Islapd. 
tiervcs  as  a  leading  mark  for  coming  in  and  out  of  this  bay,  as  is  hereafter  describ- 
ed ;  Two  leagues  to  the  M".  R.  from  the  entrance  of  this  bay,  and  iialf  a  league 
from  the  shore  lies  Shag  Island,  which  appears  at  a  distance  like  a  high  rock  and 
is  eisy  to  he  distinguished  froin  the  main ;  west  I  league  from  tlie  Shag  Island 
lies  the  middle  of  Long  Lodge,  which  is  a  narrow  ledge  of  rocks  stretching  N.  E. 
3ud  S.  W  4  miles,  the  JS".  E.  part  of  them  are  above  water;  the  channel  into 
the  bay  of  Port-a-Port,  between  the  S.  W.  end  of  this  ledge,  and  the  reef  off  the 
west  poi:it  of  the  bay  is  1  league  wide.  To  sail  into  Port-a-Port,  coming  from 
tiie  S.  VV.  come  not  nearer  the  pitch  of  t,he  Lo  ig  Point  of  the  bay,  than  li  mile, 
or  \mi]  not  in  for  the  bay,  until  you  have  brought  the  valley  in  the  side  of  the 
mountain  before  mentioned,  (which  L'  on  the  east  side  of  the  Isthmus)  over  the

led Wood's  harbour)  wherein  is  5  and  4  fathoms  water,  but  tlic  cntrauce  is  too 
narrow  for  strangers  to  attempt,  and  but  2  fathoms  deep. 

The  Uiver  llumbcr,  at  about  5  leagues  wiihiu  the  entrnncc,  becomes  narrow, 
and  the  stream  is  sp  rapid  in  place?,  for  about  i  leaguc.-s  up,  to  a  lake,  that  it  is 
with  great  dilliculty  a  boat  can  be  got  up  it;  and  at  some  times  quite  impracli- 
caljlo  ;  this  lake,  which  stretches  N.  E,  ^  N.  is  in  length  7  or  3  leagues,  and 
t'lom  2  to  5  niih  s  broad :  The  banks  of  this  river,  and  the  shores  of  the  lake  ar« 
well  cloathed  with  limber,  such  as  are  common  in  this  country.  This  rivei  is  said 
to  abouud  with  salmon,  in  which  Jias  been  formerly  a  very  great  salmon  fishery. 
The  North  and  South  Arms  arc  only  long  inlets,  in  which  is  very  deep  wa- 
ter until  you  come  to  their  heads. 

A  lillle  within  the  <ntraiice  of  tiic  North  Arm,  ou  the  starboard  side,  is  a  small 
cove,  wherein  a  vessel  might  anchor  in  '3U  fathoms  water;  1  league  within  tht; 
entrance  of  the  South  Arm,  on  the  starboard  side,  is  a  sandy  core,  (being  the  se- 
cond on  that  side,)  whcrei;i  is  anehoiUge  in  ItJ  fathoms  water,  ano  i  good  plaw 
to  wood  and  water  at ;  haul  into  the  cove  until  the  west  point  of  it  is  brought  on 
with  tlie  north  point  of  tlw!  entrance  of  this  arm.  and  there  anchor;  if  you  miss 
laying  hold  of  lliis  anchoring  ground,  there  is  a  very  goo<l  harbour  at  the  head  of 
the  S.  K.  branch  of  this  arm ;  on  the  east  side  of  Eagle  Island,  between  tlic 
North  and  South  Arms,  is  anchorage  in  8,  10,  or  12  fathoms  water:  Under  the 
north  side  of  Harbour  Island  is  good  anchorage  with  S.  W.  winds,  at  a  quarter 
of  a  mile  from  the  island  yon  will  have  a  nuiddy  bottom:  Opposite  to  the  S.  F. 
end  of  Harbour  Island,  on  the  south  side  of  this  bay,  is  Frenrhman's  Cove, 
wherein  is  good  anchorage  in  20,  1(5,  or  12  fathoms  water;  it  is  very  piobable 
that  none  of  tinse  anchorages  will  ever  be  frequented  by  shipping;  yet  it  is 
necessary  to  point  them  out,  as  it  may  happen,  that  in  coming  iuiothe  bay  with 
a  gale  of  wind  at  S.  W.  it  may  blow  so  hard  out  of  York  Harbour,  that  no  ves- 
scfcan  cany  sail  to  work  into  anchoring  ground;  at  such  times  they  will  be 
glad  to  get  to  an  anchor  in  any  place  of  safety. 

The  Bay  of  Islands  has  been  much  frequented  formerly  for  the  cod  fishery: 
the  brst  place  for  fibbing  ships  to  erect  stages  and  keep  boats,  is  in  Small  Har- 
bour, which  lies  a  little  without  the  South  head,  and  t!ie  large  beach  on  Sword 
point,  on  Governor's  island,  is  an  excellent  place  for  diying  of  fish. 

From  Guernsey  island  to  Bonne  bay,  the  course  is  fust  N.  N.  E.  tileagiiCF, 
then  N.  E.  ^  IcjBgues :  The  land  near  the  shore,  from  the  north  Shag  rock  to 
C.Tpe  St.  Gregory,  is  low,  along  which  lay  sunken  rocks,  some  of  which  are  a  { 
of  a  mile  fiom.the  i-hore,  but  a  very  little  way  inland,  it  rises  into  a  mountair. 
tenninating  at  top  in  round  hills:  from  Cape  St.  Gregory  to  Bonne  hay,  the 
bind  vises  in  hills  directly  from  the  sea  to  a  considerable  height ;  Gape  Si. 
Gregory  is  high,  and  the  northernmost  land  you  can  see,  when  coasting  along 
shore  between  Ked  islant^sud  the  Bay  of  islaufls. 

Boune  bay  may  be  easily  known  if  you  are  not  above  4  or  5  leagues  off  at  sea 
by  tb'^  lands  about  it,  all  the  land  on  theS.  W.  side  of  the  bay  being  very  high 
and  hilly ;  t]ie  land  on  the  N.  E.  side,  and  fnmi  thence  along  the  sea  coast  to  tlje 
Tiorthwaril,  is  low  and  (Int ;  but  about  one  h  ague  up  inland  are  a  range  of  moun- 
tains which  run  parallel  with  the  sea  coast;  you  cannot  distinguish  the  low  laml 
5f  you  are  0  or  7  leagues  off  at  sea.  Over  the  souih  side  of  this  bay  is  a  very 
high  mountain,  terminating  at  top  in  a  remarkable  round  hill,  which  is  very 
conspicuous  when  you  are  to  the  northward  of  llie  bay.  This  bay  lies  in  S.  E. 
two  leagues,  then  branches  into  two  arms,  one  tending  to  the  southward  and  the 
other  to  the  eastward,  the  best  anchorage  is  in  the  southern  arm  ;  small  vessels 
mui-t  anchor  just  above  a  low  woody  point,  (which  is  on  the  starboard  side  of  the 
bay,  at  the  entrance  into  this  arm,)  before  a  sandy  beach,  in  8  or  10  fathoms  wa- 
ter, about  a  cable's  length  from  the  shore :  but  large  ships  must  run  higher  up, 
unless  they  moor  to  Ihe  shore,  they  cannot  anchor  in  less  than  30  or  40  fathoms, 
but  at  the  head  of  the  arm,  where  there  is  but  24  fathoms  ;  notwithstanding  the 
great  depth  of  water,  you  lay  every  where  in  perfect  security,  and  ^  cry  cx)n-

to  the  northward,  are  several  stages,  and  goocl  places  for  drying  ol  fish. 

Hound  the  K  E.  point  of  the  Peninsula,  lies  the  harbour  of  Old  Port-anx- 
Choix,  which  is  a  small  but  safe  harbour,  in  the  entrance  of  which  lies  a  sinaM. 
island,  called  Harbour  island,  and  between  this  ihland  aiid  the  west  point  of  the

this  island  is  a  f  niall  harbour,  which  seems  not  badly  situated  for  the  cod  fulicry,

a  great  sea.  Ou  the  S.  E.  side  of  this  island,  opposite  to  the  w  est  eijd  of  Head 
island,  is  a  small  bay,  wherein  is  anchorage  in  IG  or  14  fathoms  water,  and 
sheltered  from  most  winds,  and  is  (he  only  ancho.Jng  place  in  the  whole  bay. 

From  tiie  south  part  of  Point  Ferolle  stretches  out  a  ledge  of  rocks  S.  S.  W.

ON  the  N.  v.-  coan  of  NcwfountllaiK!,  about  2  leagues  from  llio  main,  are  2 
islands,  llic  iioitlieiiiinost  ofwliirliis  callwICioias;  llie  iioitli  ta.l  ol  lliisislaml

Tlie  harbour  oJ  Croquebcar»  N.  W.  by  W.  half  W.  2  leagues  from  the  north 
cud  01  Oioias  island  ;  the  e.itr.iiu'.e  is  not  easily  di9iina;uished  by  straufjoB  till 
you  draw  near  it;  ihcn  you  will  discover  a  small  island,  ov  v«>ct,  close  to  tlic 
rtouih  head  of  the  harbour;  you  may  stand  boldly  in  with  the  land,  there  being 
"  no  danger  but  what  shews  itself,  and  lies  very  near  the  shore  ;  as  soon  ai  you 
arc  wiiliia  the  heads,  you  will  opi  n  ilie  two  aims ;  that  to  the  S.  W.  is  not  sale  to 
anchf^r  in,  being  foul  ;;round,  and  open  (o  the  N.  E.  winds  ;  you  nmy  run  up  into 
the  N.  W.  arm,  until  you  are  land-locked,  and  anchor  where  you  please,  lri>m 
10  to  10  fathoms  water,  every  where  very  good  ground.  This  is  an  excelleni 
harbour,  very  convenient  for  the  fishery,  and  plenty  of  wood  and  water. 

From  the  north  end  of  Groias  island,  along  thj;  coast  to  the  White  island.^ 
the  true  course  is  K.  by  E.  1 2  leagues,  but  to  give  these  islands  and  the  Braha 
shoal  a  proper  birth,  make  a  N.  N.  E.  course. 

net  ween  Cro(|ue  and  the  bay  of  (iriguet,  arc  several  goo<l  harbours,  with  ex- 
cclleot  fishiiis:  cnnVenicncies,  particularly  Great  and  Little  St.  Julian's  Grands- 
way,  Waterm'^iin's  Cove,  White's  Arm,  Zealot,  Fesliot,  Goose  Cove,  Crainuliere, 
St.  Authony,  and  St.  Lunare,  which  arc  not  yet  accurately  described ;  there  is 
no  danger  on  the  coast  but  what  lies  very  near  ilie  shore ;  except  the  small  shoal 
of  Braha.  which  lies  directly  olF  the  bay  of  the  same  name,  4  miles  fro.-n  tiie 
land,  on  which  the  sea  breaks  in  bad  weather. 

The  bay  of  Griguet  is  situated  oi  tiie  N.  \u  coast  of  Newfoundland,  in  the 
latitude  of  51°  32'  north;  It  is  formed  by  Stormy  cape  to  the  nortli,  and  W'liile 
cape  to  the  south,  and  contains  several  good  harbouis  for  shipping  ot  all  kinds, 
wherein  are  many  fishing  coiiveiiienci(>s.  i    u    i     r 

Camel  island  lies  in  Griguet  bay,  is  very  higlnn  the  middle,  like  the  back,  of 
a  camel,  and  in  sailing  along  the  shore,  is  diflicutl  to  be  ilistinguished  from  the 

maiu.  r    , .  ,  .  T 

The  North  harbour  lies  within  Stormy  cnpc,  at  the  entrance  ol  which  is  a  rock 
above  water;  you  amy  go  on  either  side  of  thiu  rock,  it  being  bald  to  aU  round, 
and  anciior  neiir  the  head  of  the  harhour,  in  G  fathoms  water;  in  the  entrance 
that  leads  to  the  N.  W.  and  S.  W.  hnrhours,  is  a  small  rocky  island,  which  makes 
the  pas.sag«!  into  those  harliours  narrow ;  the  safest  passage  is  to  the  nordiwaud  of 
this  island,  giving  the  point  at  the  entrance  of  the  N.  W.  harbour  a  little  birth; 
as  soon  as  you  are  within  the  island,  vou  will  open  the  two  harboure ;  that  of  the 
N.  W.  which  is  the  larsest,  runs  iu  N.  W.  ueir  2  miles ;  to  sail  up  to  the  head 
uf  die  harbour,  the  west  side  is  the  safest;  you  will  at  first  have  14,  16,  and  IS 
f.ithoms  -vater,  and  after  you  arc  a  little  within  the  point,  will  meet  with  a  bank, 
w  hereon  is  7  and  8  fathoms ;  being  over  it,  you  will  agaiu  Iiave  1 B  and  1 7  fathoms, 
and  as  you  approach  the  head,  will  shoalen  your  water  gradually  to  5  fatlwms, 
cverv  where  good  anchoring,  and  sheltered  from  all  winds.       ,     ,    .    .   . 

The  S.  W.  harbour  runs  in  near  2  miles  behind  Camel's  island ;  it  is  but  a 
narrow  arm,  and  hath  in  it  from  10  to  4  fathoms  water;  there  is  a  shoal  at  the 
entrance,  but  ni^ither  it  or  tlie  harbour  are  yet  suflicieaUy  examined,  to  give  any 
direction  about  it  here. 

The  two  islands  of  Griguet  lay  on  the  outside  of  Camel's  island,  and  together 
form  between  them  several  small,  but  very  stiug  harbours  for  fishing  vessels.

De  Orat  and  Pidgeon  cov(s  lay  on  the  S.  E.  hirle  of  ilie  island  of  Qiiirpon, 
and  to  the  iiorihttard  of  Cape  «le  Crat,  in  the  mouth  of  which  arc  somt-  suiall 
islands,  and  rocks  above  vtater;  bdilud  these  islands  are  shelter  for  shipping, 
in  4  fathoms  water,  and  ccnvenient  places  for  lishini; 

The  passage  into  Great  Qni'pon  liarbonr  is  on  the  N.  IV.  side  of  the  island  of 
the  same  name,  between  it  and  Graves  island,  which  is  an  island  iu  thir month 
of  the  harbour  ;  in  approaching  the  entrance,  you  may  make  as  fi  is  you  pl>  asc 
with  the-island  Quirpon,  there  being  no  dan;;er  iait  what  shews  ,  ell,  until  »oU 
come  to  the  entrance  of  the  harbour,  where  there  are  shoals  on  your  larboaui 
side,  which  ymi  avoid  by  keeping  Black  head,  upon  Quirpon,  open  of  all  the 
other  land,  uutil  Cape  Haven  U  brought  over  Noddy  point ;  then  haul  in  for  llic 
liarbpur,  keeping  about  half  a  cable's  kngth  from  the  point  of  Grave's  igbnd ;  it 
is  every  where  good  anchoring  within  the  baid  island,  and  room  and  depth  of 
water  for  any  ships,  and  good  ground ;  the  best  pl^ce  is  in  9  fathoms  water,  up 
towards  the  upper  end  of  Grave's  island,  abreast  of  Green  island,  which  lies  a- 
boul  the  middle  of  the  harbour:  The  passage  to  the  inner  harbour,  on  eithersidc 
of  Green  Island,  is  very  good  for  sliipsofa  mo<leiate  firaught  of  water,  through 
which  you  will  carry  3  fathoms;  and  above  the  island  is  exceeding  good  anchor- 
ing, in  7  fathoms  ;  there  is  a  passage  into  this  place  through  Little  Quirpon,  but 
it  is  too  narrow  and  intricate  for  vessels  to  attempt,  unless  well  acquainted  :  la 
and  aboil!  Quirpon  are  excellent  convenieneies  for  a  great  number  of  ships,  and 
gond  fishing  grounds  about  those  parts  :  All  the  land  about  Griguel  and  Quirpon, 
is  mountainous,  and  appears  a  barren  rock. 

Noddy  harbour,  which  lies  a  liitle  to  the  westward  of  Quirpon,  ninsinS.  S. 
W.  between  Noddy  point  and  Cape  Raven,  which  form  the  entrance  of  the  har- 
bour ;  there  is  no  danger  in  going  in ;  the  passage  is  on  the  west  side  of  a  tmaU 
island,  that  lies  about  ^  of  a  mile  within  the  heads,  and  you  anchor  as  scon  as' 
above  it,  in  5  fathoms  water ;  or  with  small  vessels  you  may  run  up  into  the 
baton,  and  anchor  in  2y  or  3  lathoms;  "within  the  island,  on  the  east  side  of  the 
haibour,  is  a  stage,  and  very  convenient  rooms  for  many  fishing  ships. 

In  turning  up  toAvards  Quirpon  and  Noddy  liarbour,  you  may  stand  pretty- 
near  to  the  Bull  rock  and  Maria  ledge,  which  are  above  water;  and  both  of 
'hem  about  4  a  league  from  the  land  of  Quirpon;  the  passage  between  them  i» 
also  4  a  league  wide,  and  very  safe,  taking  care  only  to  keep  near  to  Gull  rock, 
to  avoid  the  N.  W.  ledge,  which  ledge  does  not  appear  but  in  badweather  ;  ia 
the  passage  between  the  N.  W.  ledge  and  the  main,  are  many  rocks  and  shallow 
water.

them,  to  the  S.  W.  is  Sacred  bay,  which  is  pretty  large,  wherein  are  a  great

west  bide,  a  little  above  the  iHlauds.  which  lie  on  the  same  side,  in  j  lalhofiis 
water  :  The  fciiore  <jboul  this  bay  is  tolerably  well  toverc<l  with  wood  j  boats 
frequently  come  here  for  wood  from  Quirpon. 

Cook's  harbour  is  small,  aud  4if»  wilhiu  the  islands,  at  the  N.  W.  part  of  Pis- 
to'ct  bay,  niid  2  m'rles  to  llic  S.  K  of  Cape  Norman  :  to  fail  into  ft,  you  must

lie  o»  tikc  Bou'h  side  of  the  enhance  to  this  harbour  ;  if  yoii  nre  going  In,  as  soon 
as  you  ,judg«  yourself  to  be  to  the  southward  of  tlic  Normao  ledges,  you  nuiit 
steer  ill  for  the  liarbour,  leaving  the  isfands  on  your  larboard  side,  you  must 
keep  the  south  shore  clo^e  on  boanf,  for  fear  of  a  ledge  of  rocks  which  »j)its  mit 
from  a  sniail  nnrky  island  on  tiie  other  side  ;  ^ssoon  as  you  are  within  that  island, 
you  must  haul  over  fm-  the  north  shore,  and  anchor  in  .1  or  5  fathoms  water. 
In  this  h:»rbour  might  l.e  mude  several  v<mt  convenient  fishing  rooms,  and  in  the 
coves  between  it  aud  Cape  Norman,  might  be  buin  stages  for  tlie  boats  to  resort 
to,  and  to  cure  fish. 

Cape  Norman  is  tlie  nortlternmost  point  of  land  in  Kewfouncfland,  lies  in  the 
latitude  of  31"  3R'  2'S'  N.  is  tif  a  moderate  aUd  even  'leigli,  iiiid  a  barren  rock

between  them  is  bold,  and  of  a  moderate  and  equal  height  for  several  miles  iito 
the  country  ;  but  a  good  way  inland,  is  a  chain  of  high  moim'aiiis,  1}  irig  paralk^I 
with  the  coast:  Between  3  and  4  miles  to  the  westward  of  tire  cape  is  a  cove, 
wherein  small  vc8^els  and  boats  may  lie  very  secttre  from  all  winds,  except  N.  E. 
from  this  place  to  Green  isfand  there  is  no  shelter  on  the  coast.  In  tuniing  be- 
tween Ca()e  Norinan  and  Green  island  in  the  niglit,  or  foggy  weather,  you  tna' 
stand  in  for  the  land  rti'.h  great  safety,  in  23  fathoms  water,  until  you  are  nearly 
the  length  of  Grcei*  island  :  you  will  then  have  that  depth  of  water  very  near 
the  shore,  and  likewise  on  the  outside  of  the  isfand  itsdf. 

Orecu  island  lies  |  of  a  mile  from  the  niain,  is  |  of  a  mile  in  length,  veiv 
low,  nanow,  and  agreeable  in  colour  to  the  name  it  bears;  from  the  east  end 
stretches  out  a  ledge  i.f  rocks,  -J  of  a  mile  to  the  eastward,  whcreou  the  sea 
breaks  in  bad  weather:  The  channel  between  the  island  and  the  main,  wherein 
is  4  and  5  fathoms  w  ater,  is  very  tafe^  and  where  vessels  may  anchor  if  they  find 
occasion  :  The  only  winds  that  can  make  a  sea  here,  are  from  the  W.  S.  W. 
and  E.  Ni  E.  to  go  in  from  the  westward,  keep  the  point  of  the  isbiwl  ou  board 
for  thetlcepest  water,  which  is  i  fathoms,  aud  going  in  from  thceastward,  keep 
the  main  on  boanr.  The  distance  from  tfHs  island  to  the  opposite  part  of  the 
coast  of  Labratlorc,  called  Castles,  or  Red  Clid's,  doth  not  exceed  3  leagues  aud 
an  J ;  they  bear  from  each  other  N.  W.  and  S.  E.  and  is  the  narrowest  part  of

the  prissas^e  in  (which  is  very  irurow)  is  on  tliceast  side  of  the  island,  and  you 
must  anchor  as  soon  as  you  nv  within  it,  in  2\  and  2  fathoms  water :  One  mile

Fir>mS(;<l  islands  to  Anchor  point,  which  is  the  east  point  of  the  bay  of  St. 
R.irbe,  the  course  is  S.  W.  l>y  S.  J  league;  there  is  no  danger  but  whst  lies  veiy 
mar  tlie  shore,  until  you  are  the  length  of  the  point,  where  lies  a  rocky  island, 
lro.ni  whicii  stretches  out  a  ledge  of  rocks  S.  S.  W.^  of  a  mile,  which  you  must 
he  mindful  of  in  going  in  or  out  of  the  bay  of  St.  IJarbe.  A  little  within  Anchor 
luiiflt.  is  Anchor  cove,  wherein  is  3  fatJiTms  water  ;  it  is  so  very  small,  Ihnt  there 
is  '.0  room  in  it  to  firing  a  ship  up,  Hid<*8  it  be  little  w«id,  or  calm  ;  the  safest 
way  is  to  anchor  without,  and  warp  in;  there  is  room  in  it  for  I  ship,  and  is  a 
very  snug  and  convenient  place  lor  1  fishing  ship,  and  foi-  a  seal  fishery. 

The  hay  of  St.  !5arbe  lies  between  Anchor  point  and  St.  Barbc's  point,  whicli 
is  tiie  S.  W.  point  of  the  bay  ;  they  hi  from  each  other  S.by  E.  and  N.  by  \V. 
iulf  a  league;  it  lies  in  S.  E.  about  2  miles  from  Anchor  point;  To  sail  into  the 
iioUom  of  the  l)ay  or  harbour,  you  must  give  Anchor  point  a  good  birth,  and  all 
tlic  east  «ide  of  'he  bay,  to  avoid  the  sunken  rocks  wliicli  by  along  that  shore  ; 
the  bay  will  not  appear  to  be  of  any  depth,  and  you  must  be  well  in  before  you 
can  discover  the  entrance  into  the  harbour,  which  is  but  narrow :  you  must  then 
5toer  in  S.  S  E.  keeping  in  the  middle  of  tii '  ehannel,  and  anchor  as  soon  as  you 
nre  within  the  two  points,  in  a  small  cove,  on  the  west  side,  in  .'» fathoms  water ; 
tiie  bottom  is  sand  and  mud,  and  you  lay  laiid-lorked.  Near  this  place  branch- 
es out  two  arms  or  rivers,  one  called  the«oulli  and  the  otlier  the  east :  in  the  east 
river  is  3  fathoms  water  a  good  way  up,  Imt  the  other  is  shoal ;  in  these  rivers 
are  plenty  of  salmon,  and  their  banks  arc  stored  with  various  sorts  of  wood.  Be- 
tween the  S.  W.  point  of  the  bay  and  west  point  of  the  harbour  is  a  cove,  where- 
in  are  sunken  rocks,  which  stretch  ofl'a  little  without  the  line  of  the  two  points  ; 
ill  Ihe  open  bay  is  7,  8,  and  Ofalhoms  water,  but  no  safe  anchorage,  because  of 
tiie  N.  W.  and  W.  winds,  which  blow  right  in,  and  cause  a  very  great  sea. 

About  1  league  to  the  S.  VV.  of  the  bay  of  St.  Barbe  lies  the  bay  of  St.  Ce- 
nrvieve;  in  an<l  before  this  bay  lie  several  small  islands,  2  only  of  which  are  of 
any  considerable  extent ;  the  northernmost  of  these  two,  which  is  the  largest, 
called  Current  Island,  is  of  a  moderate  height,  and  when  you  are  to  the  N.  F. 
of  it,  the  west  point  will  appear  bluff,  but  is  not  high  ;  if  to  Ihe  westward,  it  will 
appear  flat,  and  white  like  stone  beach ;  near  half  a  mile  S.  W.  byS.  from  this 
puiot  Is  »  shoal,  upon  which  is  3  fathoms  water ;  the  other  island  (called  the

On  the  co:ist  of  I.ahradore,  a  little  way  inlaiul  from  Ijahradorc  harbour,  or 
liay  Phillippeaux,  is  a  very  remarkable  mountain,  forming  at  the  top  three  round 
hills  called  Our  Ladies  Hubbies.  This  mounlain  hears  from  the  bay  of  St.  Baihe, 
N.  W.  ^  N.  from  tiic  bay  of  St.  Genevieve  N.  30«  VV.  and  from  Dog  island  N.

Iklle-isle,  which  lies  at  the  entrance  of  the  strelghts  to  which  it  gives  name, 
is  about  7  leagues  in  circuit,  and  pretty  high  ;  on  the  N.  W,  side  of  it  is  a  very 
small  harbour,  fit  for  small  craft,  called  Lark  harbour,  witliin  a  little  island  that, 
lies  close  to  the  shore  ;  and  at  the  east  point  of  the  island  is  a  ?mall  cove,  that 
will  only  admit  fisliing  shallops  ;  2  miles  N,  by  B.  from  this  point  lies  a  ledge  of- 
rocks,,  part  of  which  ap[;ears  above  water,  and  ou  which  tlie  sea  always  breaks  , 
very  high  ;  you  w-ill  have  20  fathoms  close  to  this  ledge,  alu^  55  fathoms  be 
ttt-eeii  it  and  the  island ;  all  about  this  island  is  irregular  soundings,  but  you  will 
not  find  less  than  20  fathoms  home  to  the  isl  <ud,  excepting  ou  a  small  bank  lying 
N.  W.  4  miles  frorp  the  N.  K.  end,  whereon  is  only  5  fathoms. 

Red  bay,  on  the  coast  of  Labradore,  about  8  leagues  to  the  westward  of  Ch.i- 
teaux,  is  an  exceeding  good  harbour,  with  excellent  conveniencies  for  the  fishery. 
York,  or  Cliatcaux  bay,  on  the  coast  of  Labradore,  lies  >V.  N.  W.  \  W.  5^- 
leagues  from  the  west  end  of  Belle-isle,  and  N.  W.  J  N.  8i  leagues  from  the 
island  of  Quirpon.  In  crossing  the  streight  from  Quirpon  to  Chateaux  bay,  it 
is  adviseable  to  fail  in  with  the  coast  a  Utile  to  the  westward  of  the  bay,  unless 
;l)e  wind  be  eastwardly,  and  clear  weather!,  as  there  is  not  the  least  danger  to  the 
westward,  hut  to  the  eastward  are  several  low  rocky  Islands.  This  bay  may  be 
hnowa  by  two  very  remarkable  rocky  hills  on  Castle  and  Heiiley  islands,  m  hicli 
Inlands  |;iy  in  the  month  of  the  bay;  those  hills  are  flat  at  lop,  and  the  steep  clifts 
rojind  them  have  something  the  resemblance  of  castle  walls  ;  but  as  these  liill^ 
are  not  distinguishable  at  a  distance,  because  of  the  his^h  land  on  the  main  with-

thoms in  ttie  nruldle,  Ickg  lowunU  Xcwfotiudlaikl,  and  more  towards  the  coast  of 
Labradoip. 

About  7  miles  to  tlic  eastward  of  Seal  islands,  is  St.  Peter's  islands,  a  parcel 
of  small  barren  rocks:  wiihiii  thetii  is  St.  I'eLtr'sbay,  uhicii  isaguodbay,opfn 
otily  to  the  S.  E.  winds. 

Ca|>n  Cli.irles  makes  with  a  liiali  fterp  towards  the  sea,  and  slopinn; inland,  so 
tiiat  when  you  arc  to  the  westward  of  Cliatcaux,  Cape  Charles  will  make  like 
an  island. 

From  St.  Peter's  islands  to  Cape  Charles  iidand,  the  course  is  N.  E.  J  N.  dis- 
tatKc  near  t  leagues;  between  them  lies  Nifcerswind,  which  is  an  inlei  2  Iean;uc8 
deep,  before  which  lies  several  inlands.  You  may  pass  to  the  northward  or 
southward  of  any  of  those  islands  into  the  sound  ;  the  coursic  in,  is  N.  VV.  the 
best  anchorage  Is  on  the  north  side,  in  0  fathoms  water. 

From  Cape  Charles  to  the  Battle  islands,  (which  are  the  outcnnost  of  the  Ca- 
ribou islands)  the  course  is  N.  I)y  E.  f  E.  4  miles,  and  from  the  iiortherDmost 
of  the  Battle  islands  to  point  Lewis,  is  N.  N.  W.  ^  W.  5  miles;  between  the 
Battle  islands  and  the  great  Caribou  island  is  a  good  linrbour  for  small  vessels ; 
the  foutli  entrance  is  very  narrow,  anrl  has  only  3  fathoms  water;  this  entrance 
is  not  easily  distinguished,  by  reai^on  of  a  small  island  before  it :  the  north  entrance 
is  much  wider,  passing  to  the  weiilward  of  the  three  small  northernmost  of  the 
Battle  islands;  you  may  anchor  from  5  to  10  fathoms  water.  This  plafc  is 
much  resorted  to  by  the  savages,  and  is  by  thcni  named  Ca-tuc-to ;  and  Cape 
Charles  they  call  Ikkegaucheacteuc. 

Between  the  Caribou  islands  aud  Cape  Lewis,  lies  St.  Lewis'  bay,  ia  which 
are  many  islands  aud  inlets  which  have  not  yet  been  examined.

From  point  Spear  to  the  entrance  of  the  Three  harb -t^i  ■  i.'ic  course  is  W.  'f 
W. ;  about  3  miles  b<  tweeii  them  are  several  small  hit  i  isla  Is  iying  within  half 
a  mile  of  the  shore,  called  Sjicar  islands;  they  are  nil  uoUl  too,  and  there  is  20 
fathoms  within  them;  N.  N.  E  J  K.  from  the  S.  E.  Iiead  of  the  entrance  of  llx; 
Three  harbours,  lies  2  small  islands,  close  together,  cnllcd  Double  island,  alwut 
as  high  as  they  are  broad,  and  about  half  a  cable's  length  t^  tlic  eastwurd  of  tiKise 
islands  are  2  sunk-en  rocks,  on  which  the  tea  breaks  in  bad  weather.  Nearly  in 
the  middle  of  the  entrance  of  the  Three,  harbours  lies  2  islands  close  together, 
which  mostly  appear  as  1  island,  by  bein^so  close  louciher,  they  are  steep  too; 
ships  may  pass  on  either  side  of  them  in  12  and  14  fathoms,  and  anchor  within 
them,  iu  Queen  road,  in  I Q  fathoms ;  by  the  S.  E.  end  df  the  islands  is  the  widest 
passage,  and  room  for  ships  to  work  in  or  out. 

'J'he  first  and  southernmost  harbour  wi'hin  Queen  road,  is  Sophia  harbour;  it 
runs  up  S.  by.  E.  li  mile,  and  has  from  15  to  10  fathoms  water  for  that  dis- 
tance;  then  it  tends  away  round  a  low  noint  lo  the  eastward,  and  becomes  a  mile 
broad,  hut  thence  U  very  shoal  watei,  i.  !  only  fit  for  small  vessels. 

Port  Charlotte  ts  the  middle  harboi,;  ,  1  a  very  good  one  for  any  shipfi;  there 
is  a  low  Hat  island  on  the  starboard  side  of  the  entrance,  and  from  this  island  runs 
a  reef  of  rocks  a  third  of  tJie  channel  over  to  the  south  side ;  to  avoid  which  keep 
the  sou'h  side  nearest  on  board,  hr  it  is  steep  too,  having  9  fathoms  clcse  to  the 
shore,  therefore  keep  the  south  side  nearest  until  you  are  a  fjuarter  of  a  niilo 
within  the  entrance,  then  y«  t  iiiay  anchor  in  any  part  of  the  haibour,  betweeo 
12  and  1 7  fathoms,  only  giving  the  starboard  side  a  birth  of  half  a  cable's  length, 
to  avoid  a  small  reef  that  lays  along  thaC|jde.

in  the  upper  part  is  no  more  than  12  fathoms  room  for  ships  to  moor ;  to  sail  up 
to  the  head,  keep  the  larboard  side  nearest,  to  avoid  the  ledge  of  rocks  that  lay

about  10  leagues,  where  tlu;  \\al',;i  i>  frcs.'!,  and  a  very  silroiij;  tide;  in  it  are  ma- 
iiy  bays,  harbours  and  inlands  .  llic  fust  part  of  lliis  river  runs  up  W.  N.  W.  ;; 
miles  and  a  half.  Tiirre  are  I  islands  within  the  entrance,  2  of  which  are  On  the 
larboard  side,  and  fiiither  up,  2  on  the  starboard  side;  the  outermost  island  on 
the  larboard  bide,  which  is  about  a  ntilc  within  the  enlrance.  h  a  hijih  round  i-l- 
md  in  the  siiapc  of  a  sugar-loaf,  with  the  top  part  cut  off,  and  is  a  very  good 
mark  to  sail  in  by ;  there  is  a  ledge  of  rocks  about  half  a  cable's  length  fr«ui  the 
S.  E.  point  of  the  entrance ;  and  E.  S.  E.  half  a  mile  from  the  said  point,  there 
is  a  flat  rock,  always  above  water,  Avith  a  ledge  of  sunken  rocks  half  a  cable's 
length  to  the  N.  E.  from  it,  and  half  a  mile  without  this  Hat  rock,  on  the  same 
line  with  tlic  poiiTt,  there  is  another  flat  island  with  a  ledge  of  sunken  rocks  a  ca 
ble's  length  to  the  I^.  E.  from  it.  In  sailing  into  this  river,  to  avoid  these  ledges, 
keep  to  the  northward  of  ihc  flat  islands,  till  you  bring  the  Wugarloaf  island, 
■ffHlch  is  within  the  rivtr,  a  third  of  the  chaiuiel  over  from  the  S.  E.  point ;  that 
mark  will  keep  you  ch  ar  of  the  ledges,  and  to  the  northward  of  them  yon  may 
either  sail  or  work  in,  taking  care  not  to  shut  tlie  Sugar-loaf  island  in  with  the  N. 
■\V.  point,  and  bring  if  no  nearer  the  S.  E.  point  than  a  third  of  the  breadth  of 
the  channel;  after  bein]^  within  the  points,  there  is  no  danger  but  Athat  is  to  be 
seen ;  there  is  anchorage  within  ihc  two  islands,  on  the  larboard  side,  in  12  nud 
11  fathoms,  but  you  will  lay  open  to  the  N.  E.  ilir  best  place  to  anchor  withiu 
thcfirsi  part  of  the  river,  is  in  Ship's  harliour,  which  isou  the  larboard  side,  about 
2^  riiiles  from  the  entrance,  where  the  course  into  it  is  S.  S.  W.  If  miles .  at 
the  entrance  it  is  ^of  a  mile  broad,  at  the  head  it  is  broader;  there  is  12  ami 
16  fathoms  water,  and  good  anchorage  insecurity  against  all  winds;  at  3f  miles 
from  tijc  entrarjce  the  course  of  the  river  is  W.  by  S.  7  miles ;  in  the  middle  of  it 
are  several  great  and  small  islands:  Sailing  up  along  the  south  side  of  the  islands 
tliere  is  no  ilangLr,  and  not  less  than  40  or  50  fathoms  water,  but  on  the  star- 
board, or  north  side  of  tho  islands  there  is  much  less  water,  and  anchorage  all 
the  way  u;^  in  1 2  and  1 "  fatiioms.  The  course  up  the  third  part  of  the  river  is 
W.  i^  W.  4  miles ;  here  is  only  2  islands,  on  the  larboard  or  south  side  of  whicli 
is  very  good  an.choring,  in  1 2  fathoms ;  on  the  north  side  is  30  fathoms  water, 
the  land  about  here  is  very  higlj,  and  well  covered  widi  wood':  here  the  water 
is  fresh,  and  7  miles  further  upi.s  a  bar,  on  which  the;e  is  not  above  3  feet  at 
low  water,  the  river  afeove  that  bar  runs  \V^  and  W.  N.  W.  6  miles,  but  the 
head  of  it  is  not  yet  known  ;  by  the  rapid  stream  probably  it  comes  from  gre:il 
Likes  afar  off. 

One  uiile  to  the  northward  of  St.  Francis  river,  there  is  :i  iiarbour,  called  Mer- 
chantnien's  harbour ;  between  the  river  and  this  harbour  there  are  2  or  3  sink- 
en  rocks,  lying  a  cable's  lengtli  off  from  the  tecond  point  from  the  river ;  tlu  re 
'j8uo  danger  in  sailina;  into  this  harlwur,  it  runs  in  first  W.  N.  W.  and  then  W. 
about  a  mile,  is  2  cables  length  wide  at  the  entrance,  and  3  at  the  head  of  it, 
ivhere  ships  may  anchor  in  1 2  fathoms  water. 

To  tbe  norliiwaid  of  this  harbour,  round  a  small  point,  there  is  an  inltet  which 
runs  up  \V,  N.  W.  5  miles,  where  it  turns  to  the  southward  into  St.  Francis  ri- 
ver ;  it  is  aljout  J  of  a  mile  broad  at  the  entrance,  and  continues  the  same  breadth 
about  2  miles  up,  and  then  becomes  very  broad,  with  an  island  in  the  middle^ 
iihapcd  not  unlike  a  leg;  there  is  n(|danger  in  this  inlet  but  what  appears  above 
tratcr;  along  the  south  side  of  Leg  islnml  there  is  anchorage  in  12  and  13  fa- 
thoms. At  about  8 i  miles  within  the  entr:i nee,  the  lower  part  of  Leg  island 
'forms3  very  E^od  harbours,  with  7  and  12  fathoms  water  in  them  .  on  the  nortir 
•ideof  Leg  island  there  is  a  large  space,  about  a  mile  broad,  and  2  miles  long; 
in  it  is  from  60  to  80  fathoms  water,  from  which  to  the  N.  \V  is  a  pas-age  into 
Gilhif  it's  river,  which  runsfrom  thence  W.  N,  W.  0  miles,  and  is  about  I  a  mile

of  which  is  within  a  mile  of  St.  Francis  river;  both  these  branches  are  fiili  of 
small  islands,  rocks  and  rlumis  on  each  sid  •  but  in  the  middle  is  good  anchorago 
all  the  way  up,  from  10  to  40  fathoms;  tlii*  river  has  also  a  passage  out  to  tin* 
«(:i  to  the  noilhward  of  Cape  St.  Francis,  between  Hare  island  and  Fishing  isl- 
ands; from  St.  Francis  island  to  the  north  end  of  Hare  island,  is  W.  N.W.  2  | 
miles  ;  withiu  Hare  island  tlievc  is  a  small  harbour;  to  sail  into  it  you  must  pass 
round  the  north  end  of  Hare  island ;  there  is  from  12  to  5  fithoins  water  within 
this  harbour,  and  no  shoals  in  it ;  but  the  harbour  hereabouts  is  Fishing  ship  har- 
l)our,  which  is  formed  by  3  iAiands,  lyi.ig  along  shore  a  mile  to  the  northwartlof 
Hare  island ;  the  best  passage  iuto  it  is  between  the  2  weslcrnniost  islands,  which 
entrance  bears  trom  Hare  island  N.  W.  There  is  no  danger  iu  this  passage : 
i-liips  may  sail  right  iu  N.  W.  up  to  the  head  of  the  harbour,  and  anchor  in  12 
I'athoras;  there  is  good  room  for  any  ships. to  moor;  there  are  2  other  passages 
to  this  harbour,  one  to  the  westward  from  (he  entrance  of  Gilbert's  river,  the 
other  to  the  eastward,  passing  to  the  northward  of  all  the  Fishing  islands,  and 
liutli  7  fathoms  through,  but  tliis  is  a  very  narrow  passage,  and  difliciilt  for  those 
not  acquainted.  From  the  northernmost  Fishing  island  to  Cape  St.  Michael, 
tJie  course  is  N.  by  W.  ^  W.  distauce  6  miles :  This  part  of  the  coast  is  bold  too, 
and  very  high  land. 

Two  miles  to  the  southward  of  Cape  St.  Michael,  lies  Occasional  harboiir> 
which  may  be  easily  known  by  2  large  rocks  called  Twhi  rock,  which  lie  about 
two  thirds  of  a  mile  without  the  entrance:  they  lie  close  together;  ships  may 
psss  on  cither  side  of  them ;  the  entrance  to  this  harbour  is  between  2  high  lands, 
and  ruus  up  S.  W.  about  2  miles,  then  \V.  N.  W,  There  is  no  danger  in  this 
harbour,  both  sides  being  steep  too;  and  about  2  miles  up  there  is  good  aoclior- 
a^e  in  7  and  10  fathoms ;  the  winds  between  the  high  land  at  the  entrance  always 
sets  right  into  the  harbour,  or  right  out. 

From  Cipe  St.  Michael's  to  Cape  Bluff,  the  course  is  N.  by  W.  4  leagues; 
these  2  capes  form  the  great  bay  of  St.  Michael,  which  contains  a  great  number 
of  islands,  inlets,  rivcre,  &c.  which  are  not  yet  known.  Cape  lilufTls  a  high 
bluff  land,  and  may  l>e  seen  1 5  or  Hi  leagues ;  the  best  place  yet  known  for 
large  ships  to  anchor  within  St.  Michael's  bay,  is  on  the  south  side,  that  is  first 
keep  Cape  St.  Michael  shore  on  board,  thf  n  keep  along  the  south  side  of  the  first 
island  you  meet  with,  which  is  called  Long  island,  till  you  come  near  as  far  as 
the  west  end  of  it,  and  there  anchor  from  1 2  to  20  fathoms ,  you  will  there  lie 
land  locked,  and  may  work  out  again  to  sea  on  either  side  of  Long  island.  At 
ihe  entrance  of  this  bay  is  a  large  square  island,  within  which  are  many  small 
islands,  which  form  several  harbours. 

T'heland  from  Cape  Bluff  to  the  northward  lies  N.  N.  E.  5  or  6  leagues,  and 
makes  in  several  high  points.

etretches  oil' from  Mc-Hiina  island,  and  must  then  haul  directly  over  for  Me- 
catliia  island,  in  order  to  avoid  a  ledge  which  stretches  off  irom  the  south 
p«riit  of  Dead  cove,  and  may  anchor,  when  you  bring  the  western  passage  opcu 
in  tJ  or  7  futUouis  water  in  great  .-afety.  Vessels  comitig  from  the  eastward,  and 
bound  for  the  harbour  of  Mecatina,  and  would  pass  to  the  nortliAVard  of  Gull 
island,  niusit  be  careful  either  to  keep  Gull  uianit  or  the  main  close  on  board, 
in  order  to  avoid  a  sunken  rock  that  lies  near  half  way  betueen  Gull  island

fiears  above  watt  r.  This  bay  runs  up  north  7  miles,  at  the  head  of  which  qn  the 
starbo^ird  side  are  several  islands;  within  tlietc  islands,  to  the  eastward,  are  ma- 
ny ^ood  anchoring  places,  froni  9  to  20  fathoms  water.  VcfbcIh  may  occasion- 
ally anchor  all  alonu  the  casiein  shore  within  this  bay,  in  12  and  14  fathoms  wa- 
ter, m4id  ground  ;  on  the  weirt«Tn  side  it  is  deep  water.  N.  \  VV.  2  miles  from 
the  entrance  of  the  west  side,  is  a  Ijigh  blufThcad;  roun»l  this  head  VV.by  N.  i 
W.  half  a  mile,  is  a  small  hut  safe  hnrbqur  for  small  vessels,  in  winch  you  have 
12  fathonp,  ^ood  ground.  'I'his  haibpii|-  is  (qrmed  by  an  island,  on  either  side 
of  which  there  is  a  safe  but  narrow  passa<;e. 

After  you  leave  the  bay  of  Ha  lia,  proceediM<r  to  the  eastward,  you  lose  sigW 
of  the  main  land,  (till  you  come  to  the  l)ay  of  She<'Htica,)  which  is  hi«l  from  )ou 
by  the  number  of  ercat  and  siiinil  islands  of  ditrerent  !u  ight,  so  numerous,  and  so 
ne.ir  each  other,  that  they  are  scarce  to  bp  dipliuguishcd  as  islands  till  you  get 
iu  amongst  them. 

Amongst  these  islands  ate  a  great  many  good  roads  and  harbours;  some  of 
ihc  best  and  the  easiest  of  aciess  are  as  follow. 

Eagle  harbour  lies  near  the  west  end  of  Long  island,  and  js  formed  by  a  clus- 
ter of  islands,  on  wWch  a  French  ship  of  war  pi  that  name  was  lo^t.  This  har- 
bour is  capable  ofliQlrling  a  nnml)cr  of  shipping  with  great  security,  having  in  it 
from  10  io  20  fathoms,  good  bottom,  bjit  it  is  not  easily  to  be  distinguished  by 
strangers :  the  best  way  to  find  it,  is  to  shape  a  course  as  before  diroctctl,  from 
the  srveat  island  of  Mceatina,  to  Fox  island.-,  which  lie  from  the  wes-temmost  en- 
trance of  the  harbour  S.  E.  by  S.  j  E.  I^^  mile.  It  is  alfo  to  be  known  by  a 
lari.'e  deep  bay.  which  forms  to  the  eastwant  of  it.  without  any  islands  in  it,  but 
to  the  westward  is  a  vast  number.  If  you  intend  for  the  cast  passage  into  this 
harhoiir,  you  must  first  steer  from  Fox  islands,  N.  I  E.  24  nnles  into  the  bay, 
when  vou  will  observe  to  the  N.  W.  of  you,  a  remarkable  high  ^^land,  round 
which,  to  the  norlhward,  is  a  safe  passage  of  3  fathoms  into  the  harbour,  where 
5  Qii  riiay  anc^tor  in  great  safety  from  ail  winds.  In  the  western  passage  into  this 
liarbour,  is  2^  fuhoms  water,  fit  only  for  small  vessels^  being  a  parrow  passage 
between  many  idan(|s.  This  pat  t  of  the  coast  is  very  dangerous  for  a  vessel  to 
fall  in  with,  in  thick  weather,  by  reason  of  the  iufiiiiie  number  of  small  and  low 
islaiids,  and  gor.ie  rocks  under  water. 

From  the  iihiflTlicad  of  Great  Mecatina  islapd  to  St.  Augustinp's  chain,  the 
course  is  N.  E.  8|  leagues.  The  west  island  of  St  Augustine,  is  of  a  moderatp 
heijiilit,  the  west  pail  being  higlicgt  and  quite  low  in  the  middje,  but  it)  t>ot  as  ea- 
fjily  to  he  distinguished  a*  a  distance,  by  reason  of  the  islands  within  being  niijch 
ihigher.  Half  a  mile  to  the  ej^stward  of  tliis  island  is  the  East  island,  something 
larger,  but  not  quite  so  hisli.  and  is  even  at  top.  Between  these  two  island?,  af- 
ter passing  between  the  Chain  and  Square  islands,  is  a  safe  passage  for  small  ves- 
sels into  this  port;  they  may  anc|ior  between  the  West  island  .-ind  Round  island, 
or  they  may  nni  to  the  northward  past  Round  island,  and  anchor  in  i)  or  7  fa- 
tlinms  water,  where  they  will  have  good  room  to  moor.  S.  by  W.  ^  W.  about  half 
a  league  from  the  west  of  St.  Augustine's  island,  runs  a  chain  of  small  islands, 
called  St.  Augustine's  chniii,  the  outermost  of  which  is  a  remarkable  round  smooth 
rock.  A  -^  of  a  mile  to  the  west  of  thi'  island  lie  rocks  under  water,  which  al-

Cumberland  harbour  lies  N.  ^  \V.  1  hii^ue  from  the  outer  Shag  rocks,  and  is 
to  be  known  by  a  remarkable  hi^h  hill  on  the  main,  which  is  the  Mghest  jierea-

This  hill  lies  N.  ^V.  by  N.  alioui  [i{  leagues  from  the  ci:traiice  of  the  harbour. 
The  outer  iiilands,  n  nictl  Duke  and  rimiberlai.d  islands,  which  form  the  har-

a  quarter  of  a  mile  wide,  and  half  a  mile  long  :  from  the  east  head,  steer  fin-  the 
inner  point  on  the  west  side;  after  you  are  th«'  leneth  of  that  point,  yoti  may

the  east  end  betweeu  it  and  the  island  of  Sheca'ica,  but  this  la<^t  passage  is  only

and  very  liigh  laud.  ' 

The  bcsi  .tiicii'iajje  for  la'go  vessels  in  St.  MichielV  bay,  is  on  tlio  south  side ; 
that  in,  keep  Cape  St.  Miihiter»  shore  on  ho.rd,  then  kt cp  aloii'j  the  outh  side 
ofthefnvt  island  yon  meet  with,  whicli  iacalleil  Lonj;  inland,  till  you  conic  near 
ns  far  as  the  west  end  of  it,  and  there  anchor  iVoni  IJ  to  120  falhonis;  you  will 
there  lay  land-locked,  and  may  work  nut  uKaiii  to  sea  on  either  side  of  Long  island. 
From  Cape  St.  Michael's  to  the  enliancc  of  Squiiie  island  harbour,  the  course 
is  N.  03*  'M'  VV.  distance  3^  miles;  in  the  entrance  lies  a  small  island,  of  a  mo- 
derate height ;  the  best  pa8^a<;e  is  to  the  westward  u\  this  island,  there  being 
only  2  fathoms  water  in  the  eastern  |)iss i;i;e. 

The  N.  E.  t)')i!it  of  Srjuare  isbnl  is  a  high  roiind  hill,  and  makes  (in  coming 
from  the  soiiihward)  lil;c  asepaiale  isluid,  belli!;  only  joineJ  by  a  l«w  narrow 
neck  of  laiul,  N.  54"  \V.  distance  1  leau;ue.  From  this  point  lies  the  eiitraiire 
iuto  Dead  i.-land  hiiibour.  which  is  only  fit  for  siiiall  vessels,  and  is  formed  by 
a  utiniberof  islands;  there  is  a  paa»a,^c  out  to  sea  between  these  islauds  and  the 
land  of  ('ape  Blulf. 

Cape  Bliiir  lies  N.  by  W.  distanre  3  mile^  from  Cape  St.  Michael's,  and  is 
veryhi|;h  land,  ragged  at  top,  and  steptnwaidi  the  sea.  These  capes  form  the 
bay  of  St.  Michael,  in  whitli  aie  several  arms  well  stoied  with  wood. 

Cape  Bluff  hailjour  is  a  small  harbour,  fit  only  for  small  vessels.  To  sail  into 
it,  keep  Cape  Bluff  sliore  on  iMtard  till  you  come  to  a  small  islaud,  and  tlxn  pasa

From  the  south  point  of  ths  island  to  Snug  harbour,  Mie  course  is  W.  distance 
1y  mile.  This  harbour  is  small,  but  in  il  there  is  very  good  anchorage,  in  20 
fathoms  water,  and  no  danger  sidling  into  it. 

One  mIe  to  the  northward  of  Barren  island  lies  Stoney  island.  On  the  main 
within  these  islands  lie  Martin  and  Otter  bays,  in  tlie  northernmost  of  which  is 
very  good  atichorage,  with  plenty  of  wood,  and  no  dan<!crbut  what  shows  itself. 
On  the  west  si<le  of  Stoney  isjiand  is  a  very  good  harbour  for  small  vessels, 
called  Duck  harbour.  I^arge  vessels  may  anchor  between  the  west  point  of 
Stoney  island  and  Double  island  in  20  or  24  fathoms  water,  aud  may  sail  out  to 
eea  again  on  either  side  of  Stoney  island  iu  grent  safely. 

Hawke  island  li<'B  1  mile  to  the  northward  of  Stoney  island.  Within  Hawke 
islaml  lies  Hawke  bay,  which  runs  totiie  westward  2  leagues,  and  then  branches 
into  2  arms,  1  running  to  the  S.  W.  2  leagues,  aud  the  other  W.  H  miles;  these 
arms  are  well  litored  with  wood.  After  you  are  wilhiu  Pigeon  island,  there  i»

and  very  distinsiuishable,  either  to  tiie  northward  or  the  southward:  but  when 
>ou  arc  directiv  to  the  eastward  of  it,  it  is  rather  hid  by  the  hi-ih  lands  in  the 
iaiunlry,  called  the  Clouds. 

Upwards  of  4  miles  to  the  S.  W,  from  Canada  head  is  Iloopii)!;  harbour,  by 
tiie  Frencli  called  .Sansford.  This  place  has  2  arms,  or  rather  baj  s,  the  one  ly- 
in-I  up  the  northward,  and  tin;  other  to  the  weslw  oil.  There  is  very  fleep  water 
in  the  north  arm,  until  >  ou  approach  near  the  head  :  it  is  a  loose  sandy  bottom, 
entirely  open  to  southerly  winds,  and  not  a  place  of  safety  for  slii|ipin^.  In  the 
w(^stward  arm  a  ship  may  safely  anchor  in  a  moderate  depth  of  water. 

About  4  miles  to  the  southwan^f  Hooping  harbour  is  Fonelidc.  TJiere  is  no 
anchorajrc  in  this  place  until  you  approach  near  the  head,  where  there  is  a  cove 
on  the  north  side.  The  lanJl  is  extremely  hi<:h  on  Iwth  sides,  and  deej)  wntev 
close  to  the  shore.  This  cove  is  about  2  or  .3  miles  from  the  « iitraiice,  in  which 
jlierc  is  anchorage  in  18  fathoms  water,  but  bo  small,  that  ft  sliip  must  mcor  head

About  l  miles  to  the  S.  W.  frolii  Tape  John,  is  the  small  harbour  of  La  Tey,

Cape  John  is  a  lofty  riigsed  point  of  land.  It  lies  in  tlic  Utiliulo  of  50^  fl'  N. 
and  may  be  known  by  the  /»idl  isle,  which  "s  a  small,  hi.^ih,  round  island,  bear- 
ing nearly  east,  about  -1  mites  from  the  pitch  of  the  ca|)e. 

From  Cape  John  to  the  b:iy  of  Twiiinga'te,  die  course  is  S.  D.  by  E.  disttnce 
1 1  or  12  leagius.  This  is  but  an  indifFere  ;t  [)lace  for  shipping,  if  being  directly 
open  to  the  N.  E.  winds,  whicn  heave  in  a  very  great  sea.  N.  ^  \V.  about  4 
miles  from  the  entrance  of  this  bay,  there  is  a  bank,  on  wliicli,  iu  the  winter,  thu 
sea  has  been  seen  to  break,  between  which  and  the  shore  there  is  from  30  to  3U 
fathoms  water. 

\Vire  cape  cove,  vvh'cli  lie<  on  (he  west  side  of  the  westernmo'-t  Twilingatft 
jslatifl,  that  makes   I'wilingiile  bay,  is  a  [dace  for  fishing  craft  oidy. 

From  Cape  John  to  I'ogo  head,  ilie  course  is  E.  by  B.  ^  S.  distance  17  or  18 
leagues.  Immedi.itely  to  the  eastward  of  ihis  head  is  Fogo  harbour.  Tiiis  is  a 
pretty  good  harbour  for  fi-hint^  ships  fee.  but  the  entrance  is  iniricate  and  dan- 
gerous. To  sail  into  this  liarboiu"  with  a  westerly  wind,  and  coming  from  tlw 
westward,  keep  close  on  board  (»f  Fogo  head;  it  is  very  bold  ton.  :>nd  uolhing  U» 
fear,  until  yoit  o[)<n  a  narrow  eutratice,  scarcely  half  a  cable's  length  wide. 
Steer  directly  in,  keeping  right  in  the  middle,  and  you  will  carry  from  U  to  4 
fathoms  wat«  r  through.  When  you  are  through  this  passage,  which  is  commonly- 
railed  the  West  Tickle,  if  you  intend  to  anchor  in  the  west  wa'-d  bight,  steer  to 
the  S.  E.  till  you  bring  the  point  between  the  bights  to  bear  ^V.  by  N.  to  avoid 
the  harbour  rock,  which  is  a  sunken  rock,  that  scarcely  ever  shews  but  at  dead 
low  water  spring  tides;  then  you  n)ay  haul  up  to  the  westward,  and  anchor  from 
6  to  r>  fathoms,  iroiul  holding  ground,  and  sheltered  from  all  winds. 

Coming  from  the  weslwaid,  you  must  not  b«'  afraid  to  make  bold  with  Fogo  head, 
otherwise  you  will  miss  the  west  Tickle:  and  as  there  is  generally  (more  part'cu- 
larly  with  a  westerly  wind)  a  strong  current  ruiuiing  to  the  eastward,  ships  making 
that  nuslake,  seldom  can  work  up  again:  Coining  from  the  eastward,  and  bound

LV<'ii  intricatf;,  for  khailops,  though  il  ajiiiears  the  w  idest. 

About  7  miles  to  the  >.  li.  from  the  eiitiance  of  I'ogo  harbour  lies  Little  Foajo 
inland;  from  which,  above  2  leagurs  distauce,  to  the  northward,  eastward,  and 
Meslward,  lie  a  great  uuniber  of  small  rocks,  above  and  under  w  ater,  which  makes 
this  part  of  the  coast  eKceeding  dangerous,  esi>ecially  iu  foggy  weather. 

between  the  bay  of  Twilingate  and  Fogo  head,  nearly  midway,  lies  the  isle 
of  Biicaleau.  'J'o  the  S.  W.  Irom  tiii?  island,  near  3  miles,  is  the  harbour  of 
Herring  neck,  which  is  u  line  liarbiiur,  sullicicnt  for  any  ships. 

From  the  roiuid  head  of  logo,  which  is  the  X.  E.  part  of  the  island,  to  the 
rtuiermobt  Wiidham's  island,  the  course  is  8.  E.  by  E.  distance  14  or  13  miles. 
There  is  a  very  good  passage  between  these  islands,  ofieiiuscd  bysliipping.  This 
passage  is  above  a  mile  wi<le,  and  is  between  the  second  and  third  island ;  that  is, 
you  are  to  leave  2  of  the  islands  without,  or  to  the  northward  of  you.  Those  isl- 
ands are  about  3  leagues  in  ciicuit,  and  lie  near  2  leagues  from  the  main  land. 

From  the  outermo.^t  of  Wadham's  islands,  that  is  tlie  N.  E.  isle  to  tlie  Gull 
isles  oil' Cape  Freels,  the  course  isS.  E.  distance  10  leagues.  Gull  isle  is  a  small 
rock  island,  and  lies  about  a  mile  and  a  half  from  the  pitch  of  Cape  Freels,  which 
is  a  low  point  of  land  ;  between  this  cape  and  Green's  pond  island  are  several 
small  islands  and  sunken  rocks  along  shore.  There  is  no  passa}";e  from  the  cape 
towards  Green's  pond  for  shipping  within  the  Stinking  is.es,  without  being  very 
well  acquainted. 

The  Stinking  islands  lie  S*.  S.  E.  2  leagues  from  Gull  island,  and  N.  X.  W, 
11)  leaiUKB  fi'oin  Ca|)e  Bonavista. 

\.  i  E.  from  Cape  Bunavista,  and  N.  27°  E.  about  10  leagues  from  Cape 
Freels,  lies  Funk  island.  Thisishind  lies  in  the  latitude  of  4fl"  51!'  \.  it  is  bnl 
!*mall  and  low,  not  to  be  seen  above  4  or  3  leagues  in  clear  weather.  There  are 
2  small  isles,  or  rather  rocks,  at  a  small  distance  from  the  ?i ,  W.  part.  This  isl- 
and is  much  frequented  by  st>a  birds  of  various  kii«ls.  "  • 

About  \V.  N.  W.  distance  7  leiigues  from  Funk  island,  lie  the  dangcrou? 
rocks,  called  Darel's  ledge,  upon  which  the  sea  almost  always  breaks. 

Gieens'  pond  harbour  is  situated  ou  the  west  side  of  Bonavista  bay,  and  bears 
from  the  Stinking  isles,  S.  ti3»  W.  <listance  upwards  of  4  leagues.  It  may  be 
known  by  the  Copper  islands,  which  !ie  to  the  southward  of  the  harbour,  and  are 
pretty  high,  and  sugar-loaf  topped.  This  harbour  is  formed  by  several  islands, 
that  are  tietached  about  half  a  mile  from  the  main  land,  tlie  largest  of  which  is 
called  Pond  isle,  and  makes  the  north  side  of  the  harbour.  This  islaud  is  tole- 
rable high,  and  near  5  miles  in  circuit.  The  other  islands,  making  tire  .south 
side,  are  but  small.  This  is  but  a  small  Iiarbour.  Towards  the  upper  part  2 
ships  can  scarcely  lie  a-breast.  There  a  no  danger  in  sailing  into  this  harbotir, 
until  you  approach  its  entrance,  where  you  rau.it  be  careful  of  a  shoal;  it  is  but: 
of  very  small  extent,  whereon  is  not  above  C  or  7  feet  at  low  wafer;  you  may 
pass  on  either  side  of  this  shoai ;  but  the  north  side  is  tlic  widest  and  best  pas-- 
sage. 

S.  70*  W.  about  4  miles  from  the  Copper  island  is  Shoe  cove  point.  About  2 
miles  to  the  nnrdiward  ofthis  point  lies  Xew  harbour,  iu  which  ships  may  safely 
anchor,  though  it  is  but  a  small  harbour. 

In<lian  bay  runs  up  west  about  4  leagues  above  this  harbour;  at  the  head  ot 
which  there  is  plenty  of  good  timber. 

From  Copper  island  to  the  Gull  isle  of  Cape  Bonivista,  the  course  is  S.  E.  .^-

Directions  Jbr  navigating  from  Cape  Race  to  Cape  Bonavista, 
xvith  remarks  upon  the  Fishing  Banks. 

FROM  Cape  Race  to  Cape  Ballard,  is  M.  N.  E.  about  \i\,  or  4  leagHP8  be- 
tween which,  aoouc  lialf  way,  is  Clam  cove,  which  is  only  for  boats;  au<l  near 
to  Cape  Ballard  is  another  cove,  called  Chain  cove,  where  arc  several  rocks  ly- 
ing before  it  (but  there  is  no  harbour,  or  bay,  for  shii)s  to  ride  in)  and  fish  be- 
tween <he  t»o  capes. 

But  to  the  noniiward  of  Cape  Ballnrd  is  another  cove  for  boats;  and  about  -I 
tniles  ftom  the  c  ipe  is  Freshwater  bay.  near  halfway  between  Cape  Ballard  aud 
Bcnowes,  Reuowes  being  the  southernmost  harbour  the  Euglish  have  in  Nev  • 
foundiand. 

From  Cape  Ballnrd  to  the  south  point  of  Renowcs,  the  totti-se  is  N.  N.  E. 
about  2  leagues,  Renowes  is  but  a  bad  h-trbour,  by  reason  of  siu)kcn  rocks  po- 
ing  in,  lying  of  the  fairway,  besides  other  rocks  on  each  side,  but  it  is  a  good 
place  for  fishing. 

TI)ose  w  ho  go  iu  there  should  be  very  well  acquainted ;  when  you  arc  in,  when: 
ships  usually  ride,  you  Itave  not  above  15  fo<:t  water,  antl  but  small  drift,  by  reu- 
sou  of  shoals  aOout  you,  and  a  S.  S.  E.  v'n\'\  brings  iu  a  gie.U  sea,  so  that  it  is 
very  bad  riding,  and  only  used  in  summer  time:  The  harbmir  lies  Jf.  W.  about 
a  league  in ;  but  you  must  keep  the  south  side  going  in,  for  th.u  is  the  cleare^t. 

OfTthe  south  point  of  the  entrance  of  the  bar'  our  is  an  Islanil,  a  small  distance 
from  the  shore ;  and  off  the  siid  south  point  of  the  harbour,  S.  E.  by  E.  aliotit 
l;alf  a  league,  is  a  great  rock  high  above  v, airr,  called  Riiiowes  rock,  wiiicli 
you -may  see  at  least  3  leagues  oft"  in  fair  weather,  but  the  rock  is  bold  to  go  ou 
eiiher  side. 

From  Renowes  point  to  Fermowes,  :s  1 J  league  N.  E.  by  N".  N.  N.  E.  and  N. 
tend''ig  about,  but  being  a  little  without  Renowes,  the  course  will  be  N.  N.  E. 
till  )  ou  come  open  of  the  harbour  of  Fer;nowes.  Between  iIk;  said,  two  harbours- 
is  a  cove,  called  Bears'  cove :  a  tilace  only  for  boats  to  stop  at  if  the  wind  be 
tontfsry,  but  no  inhabitants. 

Fermowes  i'  a  very  good  ha  hour,  aijd  bold  going  in,  no  danger  bu*  the  shore 
iiself;  it  lies  in  N.  W.  Md  N.  AV.  by  W.  Being  past  tlie  entrance,  tlierr  are  se-v 
veral  coves  on  ea"^;!  side  of  the  harbour,  where  ships  may  and  often  do  ride ;  the 
first  cove  on  thestarb  )nrdsi<!3  (going  in)  or  north  side,  is  called  Clear's  cove, 
where  ships  seldom  f'nt  may)  ride;  the  next  within  it,  a  little  distance  on  the 
north  side,  is  tin  Admiral's  cove,  (where  lives  a  planter;)  in  this  cove  you  lit* 
land-locked  from  all  win  is,  and  ri  le  ia  7  or  8  fathoms,  good  grouiid. 

The  Vice  .\dmirdi's  cove  (so  callr-d)  is  on  the  south  side,  futher  in,  or  more 
westerly,  and  is  a  very  good  plnce  to  ride  iti  'or  many  ship  .  tjo  >d  ground,  and 
above  the  said  cove,  i  n  the  Konth  side,  further  in.  is  ano  lierarni  or  cove,  where 
also  you  lie  secure.  You  h*ve  d)ont  20  f  itlioms  w;>ter  \.\  the  entr^iite  of  the 
harbour;  hut  within  yon  hr.vi  from  1-1  to  12,  10,  9,  8,  7,  and  6  I'ulions,  as  you 
please,  and  the  head  runs  up  at  kast  4^  miles. 

From  Fermowes  to  Angiia  fort,  the  course  U  N.  by  E.  about  a  lca,?ue,  betweea 
which  are  :wo  heads,  oi  points  of  land,  about  a  mile  from  each  other,  the  sonth-

from  your  ship  to  your  stage  on  siiorc,  being  au  excelleut  harbour,  and  «  ater 
deep  enough. 

From  Agna  fort  to  Ferry  i;ind  head  (the  south  part  of  the  !iead)lhc  course  h 
past,  about  3  miles.     Ciow  isk'nd,  being  almnt  a  mile  from  Agna  fort,  liesE* 
.  IS.  Fi.  from  the  iiarbour's  mouth,  and  from  the  S.  £.  eud  of  Crow  island  lies  it 
«honl  about  a  cable's  length. 

From  the  uorth  part  of  Ferrylaud  head  to  Fonyland,  the  course  is  W.  by  N. 
about  3  miles  ;  to  go  into  Ferr)  land  port  or  harbour,  you  must  sail  between  the 
north  part  of  Ferryland  head  and  Buoy  islniid;  it  is  not  very  broad,  but  there  is 
water  enough,  and  clean  ground  ;  being  within  the  said  Buoy  i.>iland,  y<;u  may 
'.•un  in  aad  anchor  where  you  please,  it  bi  ing  of  a  good  handsome  breadth  ;  or 
you  may  go  iuto  the  Pool,  which  is  a  place  on  the  larboard  side  (going  in)  with 
a  point  of  beach,  where  you  ride  in  12  feei  water  at  low  w.iter.  and  where  the 
adiniraPs  ships  generally  ride,  (the  stages  beina  near,  several  (jlar.ters,  inhabU^ 
ants,  live  iu  this  place.)  From  Buoy  island,  almost  in  t"  the  land  to  the  west- 
ward, are  small  iflands  ami  rocks,  which  make  Ferryland  Imrbonr,  or  poM,  antt 
divide  it  from  Cajjlin's  bay ;  between  the  said  rocks,  in  some  places,  is  a  passage 
for  boats,  and  the  water  rises  hereabouts  3i,  4,  and  s(»metimrs  5  feet,  aud  some" 
times  3  feet,  and  so  it  does  genorally  in  all  the  h:irbour6  of  this  land. 

From  Ferryland  head  to  cap.:  Broyle  he^d,  is  N.  by  E.  almost  4  miles,  be- 
tween which  are  three  islands,  which  lie  l^fore  Caplin's  bay  ;  there  are  channels 
to  sail  between  them  to  Caplin's  bay,  that  is,  between  Buoy  inland,  Mhirh  la 
the  slernmosl  and  greatest,  and  Goose  island,  which  is  the  middlemost,  and  is 
the  second  iu  bigness  next  to  Buoy  i^lUnd  ;  also  you  may  sail  through  between 
Goose  island,  wliich  is  the  middlemost,  and  Ftone  island,  which  is  the  north- 
ernmost; but  these  passages  arc  large  enftugh  for  thips  to  sail  or  lurh  in  or  oiit ; 
but  between  Stone  island  and  the  north  shore,  (that  is,  cape  Broyle)  (here  is  ud 
passage  for  a  ship,  only  for  boats,  thete  being  a  great  rock  belweeu  Stone  itlaud 
and  the  north  shore. 

Caplin's  bay  is  large  and  good,  and  nine  In  a  great  tray  Vf>  N.  W.  at  least  6 
mibs  within  the  said  islands,  where  many  ships  may  ride  in  good  ground,  and 
where  sometimes  the  Newfoundland  ships  meet  that  are  bound  with  convoy  to 
the  StreightB,  but  generally  rendezvous  at  the  bay  of  Bulls. 

From  cape  Broyle  head,  (the  north  part  of  it)  which  lies  in  the  b.iy  of  hal-bonr 
of  cape  Broyle,  W.  N.  W.  and  N.  AV.  by  NV .  about  7i  miles  and  from  the  sentli

Cape  Broyle  is  the  moEt  remarkable  land  on  all  the  south  roast  of  Newfound-

From  cape  Broylc  to  Bripus  by  fontli,  («o  called,  to  distinguisli  it  from  an- 
other Brigus  in  tiie  bny  of  conception)  is  a  league,  but  from  the  north  head  of 
Gape  Broylc  bay  to  Brigiis,  is  but  a  little  more  than  a  mile,  and  lies  in  ^.  VV.  and 
N.  VV.  by  W.  Brigus  is  a  place  only  for  small  (•Inp?  of  not  above  7  or  8  feet 
draught  of  water  lo  ride  in  the  cove,  ivhlcli  'a  not  aliogeiher  sale  neither  ;  it  is  a 
place  foffishing.  where  live  two  planters;  llierc  is  an  island  so  called,  where  tiiey 
build  their  stagev,  and  make  their  (i^h  upon,  who  come  there  fishinf:«  but  the 
ivatcr  comes  not  quite  round,  unless  in  a  great  storm  or  rage  :  It  is  a  place  of 
fittln  consequence. 

From  cape  Broyle  to  Cape  Neddick,  the  course  is  N.  by  E.  northerly,  5 
lca;;ueB  ;  and  from  Brigus  point  to  cape  jVcddick,  is  N.  K.  iilmnst  1 1  mile 
between  which  is  Frtsliwatcr  bay,  but  of  no  note.  Cape  Neddick  is  a  high 
point,  flat  at  top,  and  straight  down  to  the  water. 

From  Cape  Nc.ldick  to  Saline  head  is  about  v  a  league  N.  E.  by  E.  between 
ivhich  is  Lamanche.  Lamauche  is  only  a  cove  in  the  bay,  where  is  oo  safe 
riding  for  any  thip. 

From  Balinc  head  to  Baline  cove  is  near  .3  quarters  of  a  mile  ;  it  is  a  place 
Trliere  ships  use  to  keep  2  or  3  boats  with  a  stage  for  fishing,  where  one  planter 
lives  ;  the  place  is  not  for  ships,  only  small  vessels  may  come  in  to  lade,  and 
lie  within  the  rock  called  the  Whale's  back,  which  rock  breaks  olf  any  sea,  and 
there  arc  2  rorks  above  water,  one  on  each  side  going  in,  and  the  Whales  back 
in  the  middle,  but  without  the  said  rocks  that  are  above  water. 

Against  Baline  cove  lies  Goose  island,  about  a  mile,  or  J-  a  league  to  the  sea- 
ward of  Baline.     Goose  island  is  a  pretty  large  island  j  or  near  a  mile  long. 

From  Baliue  head  to  Isle  do  Spear  is  \.  IN".  E.  a  mile  within  the  greatest  of 
tlie  said  islands,  which  is  the  northern m«st.  Siiips  every  yenr  fish  there  ;  on 
this  island  is  a  stage  on  the  inside,  that  is,  on  the  west  side,  and  good  riding  in 
summer  seas^on,  the  island  being  pretty  large,  but  the  northernmost  islaud  is 
only  a  round  hill  fit  for  no  use. 

TIk!  r>ext  to  the  Isle  <le  Spear  is  Toad's  cove,  where  a  planter  lives,  a  place 
for  boats  to  fish,  but  not  for  ships  to  ride. 

A  littfc  withotit  Toad's  cove  (or  to  the  eastward)  is  Boxes  island,  between 
which  and  it  is  qo  passage,  but  only  for  l)oats  to  go  through  at  high  water. 

From  Baline  head  to  the  Moinables  bay  is  N.  by  E.  about  4  miles,  and  lies 
N.  W.  near  2  miles;  it  lies  icn  to  tlie  sia.  yet  is  a  good  riace  for  fishing. 

From  Baline  head  to  the  north  point  of  Momables  bay  ^  which  is  the  south 
point  of  Whitless  bay)  the  comse  is  N.  IV.  E.  northerly  4  milo  olF,  which  point 
is  n  shoal  of  rocki  that  lie  a  great  way  ofF,  so  that  men  must  be  mcII  acquainted 
to  go  \vi(h  ships be»  -eeu  the  said  point  and  Green  island,  which  is  a  small  island 
right  ofT  against  th-  snid  point,  a  little  move  than  a  mile  ;  for  if  you  intend  to 
come  through  between  them,  then  it  is  best  lo  keep  the  island  side,  which  is 
clearest. 

From  the  Faid  shoal  point  or  south  point  of  Whitless  bay,  the  land  on^  the 
south  siiloof  the  bay  lies  in,  firet  part  N.  N.  W.  and  after  more  westerly. 

From  the  south  point  of  Whitless  bay  lo  the  north  point  of  the  said  bay  is  N. 
E.  by  N.  about  a  league,  so  that  it  is  a  lai'ge  going  into  the  hay,  and  shout  a 
league  within  gull  Islami  lolhc  head  of  the  bay,  there  is  turning  in  or  out,  but 
nboiil  half  way  into  the  bay  on  the  north  .side  (where  the  planters  live  and  the 
A<liTiiral'8  stage  is)  there  is  a  ledge  of  rock-s  which  you  must  avoid  ;  the  most  part 
of  tlrnm  maybe  seen  above  water:  you  may  lie  but  liHle  without  the  ootermost, 
which  appears  dry.  This  is  a  far  bettrr  bay  than  Momnbles,  by  reason- of  the 
Gtill  and  Green  island  lying  without  before  it ;  you  may  sail  between  the  islands, 
or  !,'>twefn  G>-een  5'land  and  the  south  point  of  Bsy  Bulls,  yet  ships,  aftc.-  the

From  Cape  Broyje  to  Bay  Bulls  is  N.  N.  E.  half  easterly,  5  leagues  from  the 
south  heail  of  Bay  Bulls  lo  the  north  liead,  called  iliill  head,  the  course  is  N.  E. 
northerly,  li  inik,  or  iherealwuts,  between  which  2  heads  go  in  the  Bay  Bulls,  ly- 
h)"  W.  N.  VV.  lor  at  l«rast  ^  mil<?s,  and  alter  that  N.  W.  for  about  a  mile,  to  the 
river  head.  In  (his  bay  is  gnotl  riding,  from  20  falljoms  at  the  first  entrance 
between  the  heads,  to  IS,  10,  Sec.  alter  you  are  shot  within  Bread  and  Cheese 
paint,  which  is  a  point  half  the  bay  in,  on  the  north  side,  w  heic  there  ia  a  cove, 
ill  which  the  Admirals  ki  ep  their  stage.  You  iiiiist  give  this  point  a  little  birth, 
for  a  sunken  rock  that  lies  otV  that  point  not  J  cable's  length,  else  ajl  the  bay  is 
bold  too,  and  nothing  to  hurt  you  but  what  you  see.  Being  past  that  point, 
run  up  and  anchor  (or  turn  u;i)  against  the  high  hills  called  Joan  Clay's  hill, 
(bring  ii  N.  I'.)  in  \'-i  or  14  lathoms,  which  you  will  have  there  almost  from  side 
to  side,  but  merchantmen  run  farther  in,  and  anchor,  sonie  in  10,  0,  or  8  fathoms, 
not  above  a  point  open,  and  others  not  above  i  a  point.  Men  of  Avar  ride  not  3 
points  open.  Here,  gcnerally»  'he  fleet  is  made  up;  that  is,  here  they  meet  rea- 
dy to  sail  (commonly  for  the  ritreighls)  by  the  15th  or  20th  of  September  It  is 
from  siiic  to  side  against  Joan  Clay%  hill  as  aforesaid,  430  fathoms,  so  that  it 
Wiinls  but  10  fKhoins  of  *  an  Kiiglish  mile  broad. 

From  Bay  Biiils  to  Petty  harbour,  ihe  coMrse  is  N.  E.  by  S'.  Sf  or  4  leagues 
between  wliich  is  nothing  reniiirka'jie  of  hays  or  coves,  but  a  steep  dead  shore 
only.  About  mid  way  is  ;i  place  called  the  Spout,  being  a  hollow  place  arhich 
the  Kea  runs  into,  ami,  having  a  vent  on  the  top  of  tlie  land,  uearthe  water  side, 
*;ponts  up  the  water  in  such  a  manner  that  yoii  may  see  it  a  great  way  off,  espe- 
cially if  there  be  any  sea,  which  causes  the  greater  violence. 

The  entrance  to  Petty  harbour  is  a  large  bay,  for  from  the  south  point  to  the 
north  point  is  a  league  distaiue,  N.  N.  K.  and  S.  S.  W.  and  it  is  a  league  in» 
where  the  ships  ride  that  fish  there,  being  but  a  little  cove.     It  lies  hi  W.  N.  W. 

Fiom  the  north  point  of  Petty  haibourto  CapeSp^ar,  the  course  is  N.  E  bj 
N.  2  miles,  or  thereabouts,  and  from  thence  the  land  tends  iute  the  N.  VV.  te 
Black  head,  Md  so  to  the  harbour  of  St.  John's. 

From  Cape  S{)ear  to  tlic  Iwibonr  of  St.  John's  is  N.  W.  by  N.  4  miles  ;  be- 
iween  whicii  are  Ihiee  bays;  the  fii=t  is  from  Cap(;  Spear  to  Black  head,  and  is 
called  Cape  Bay  ;  the  second  is  from  Black  head  to  Low  [)oint,  and  is  called 
lieadinan's  b.iy,  sevcal  men  and  btats  being  formerly  lost  in  that  bay ;  the  tJiird 
is  from  Low  point  to  St.  John's  harhour,  and  is  called  Fresh  water  bay. 

The  harbour  of  St.  John's  is  an  excellent  good  harbour,  (though  narrow  in  the 
/entrance.)  nnd  the  chief  in  Ncwjoundland,  for  the  number  of  ships  i"ed  and  cm- 
ployed  i  1  fisliing,  and  for  t  jiiae^rs ;  as  also  for  the  immber  of  inhabitants  herfi 
dwelling  and  remaining  all  the  vent ;  it  is  narrow  going  in,  not  above  1(50  fa- 
thoms broad  from  th"  so'ati)  poi^l  to  the  north  point,  but  bold  to  the  very  rocks, 
or  sliore  itself,  and  you  have  i  ti  <:■,:  1  7  fathoms,  the  deepest  between  the  2  heads; 
it  lies  N.  N.  W.  but  it  is  yet  move  narrow  after  !!ic  first  entrance,  by  reason  of  2 
rocks  lying  within,  on  each  ^ '  le,  but  above  water,  between  w  hich  you  are  to  sail, 
it  l)eiog  just  06  fatluMos  broad  betwecji  them.  Bat  being  past  them  you  may  nia 
in  boldiyi  (it  being  then  wider  by  a  great  deal,)  anil  can  take  no  hurt  but  from  the 
shore,  only  within  the  aforesaid  rock.  On  the  south  side  of  it,  a  point  within 
Ring-noon,  (which  is  a  small  bay,)  there  lies  a  sunken  rock  about  30  fathoms  ofF 
the  shore,  which  has  not  above  8  fes  t  water  ;>n  i^  Being  in  the  harhour,  you 
may  auclior  in  8,  7,  6,  5,  or  4  fathoms,  as  you  please,  and  be  land-locked  from  all 
winds,  for  it  lies  up  W.  S.  W.  You  must  observe  that  you  cannot  expect  to 
sail  in,  unless  tlie  wind  be  at  S.  W,  or  to  the  southward  of  it,  and  then  the  wind 
casts  in  between  the  2  hills,  till  you  are  quite  within  the  narrow,  and  there  you 
have  room  enough.  But  if  it  be  W.  S.  W.  or  more  westerly,  the  wind  will 
cast  out,  and  you  must  warp  in.

curing  fish,  having  several  inhabitants,  wiMi  good  pas'urage,  and  about  100 
head  of  cattle,  which  afford  good  milk  and  butter  in  the  summer  time.  There

You  may  turn  into  Harbour  Grnce  all  the  bay  over,  from  side  to  side,  and 
come  o(l"  which  bide  you  please  of  the  rock,  called  Salva:^es,  which  is  ahnost  in 
the  middle  of  the  channel.  But  there  is  another  rock  on  the  north  side,  called 
IjOO<»  Harry, fioniothinfi;  without  Salvages,  near  the  north  shore,  where  you  ^o

ride ;)  you  may  then  keep  the  north  sliore,  because  there  is  a  barer  ledge  shoots 
over  from  the  south  side,  almost  to  the  uorlh  shore. 

To  know  when  you  are  near  the  said  bar,  or  ledge,  observe  this  mark;  you 
will  see  two  white  rocks  on  the  land,  by  the  water  side,  in  a  bank  on  the  north 
side ;  which  shews  whilcrlhan  any  place  else,  and  is  about  a  ndln  below,  or  to  the

but  b<;ach  for  some  distance  ;  keep  the  said  north  shore  pretty  near,  ivherc  you 
will  have  3{  fathoms  on  the  bar,  and  presently  after  -1,  5,  6  and  7  fathoms  ; 
but  if  you  stand  over  to  the  southward  till  you  ave  got  witliin  the  said  b<r  or 
ledge,  you  will  uot  liave  above  7^  8  and  9  feet  water  :  this  sand  tends  S.  E. 
from  athwart  the  aforesaid  two  white  rocks,  and  runs  over  close  to  the  south 
Bide ,  bui  being  past  thaj,  as  aforesaid,  you  may  turn  from  side  to  side,  till  with-

Being  bound  to  Harbour  Grace,  be  sure  to  go  the  northward  of  Harbour 
Grace  islands,  which  lie  before  the  harbour,  above  a  mile  oil',  for  the  southward 
of  the  islands,  between  it  and  the  south  sliorc  of  the  harbour,  is  foul  ground : 
the  harbour  lies  in  W.  S.  W, 

From  Harbour  Grace  to  Cape  St.  rrnncis,  is  East  Northerly,  7f  leagues. 

From  Harbour  Grace  to  Bryant's  *;ove,  is  S.  W,  about  half  a  league,  but  is 
no  place  where  ships  use  :  one  planter  lives  there,  it  being  a  good  place  for 
«-4ttching  of  Ash.  In  the  entrance  of  this  cove  lies  a  rock  in  the  middle,  but 
above  water.  You  may  go  in  on  either  side  with  a  ship,  aud  have  4  or  5  fath- 
oms, and  anchor  within  it  in  cleau  ground. 

From  Haibour  Grace  to  Spaniard's  bay,  isS.  S.  W.  about  .T  leagues.  This 
bay  is  deep  and  large,  almost  like  Bay  Roberts-:  But  there  arc  no  inhabitants, 
neither  do  men  use  this  place  for  fishing,  but  there  is  good  anchoring  all  over  the 
bay  ;  it  is  but  a  small  neck  of  land  over  Bay  Roberts. 

From  Spaniard's  bay  to  Bay  Roberts  is  S.  E.  by  E.  southerly,  about  2  miles. 
This  bay  is  about  2;^  miles  broad,  from  the  north  point  to  the  south  point,  which

is  a  good  place  for  a  ship  or  two  to  ride  in,  in  4,  5,  or  6  fathoms,  and  not  above 
a  point  open ;  the  cove  lies  in  S.  VV.  and  the  fouth  side  of  the  bay  to  Burnt* 
bead,  lies  N.  E.  by  E.  and  S  W.  by  W.  one  from  the  other,  about  a  league;  for 
Sheep's  cove,  and  Cupiil's  cove  are  in  the  same  bay  of  Port  Grave  ;  but  Cupid's 
cove  is  on  the  south  side,  and  tiie  other  on  the  north  side  ;  the  bay  runs  up  W 
S.  W.  and  is  about  3  leagues  long. 

Burot-head,  which  is  liic  south  point  of  the  bay,  and  Port  Grave,  lie  S.  E.  by 
E.  and  N.  W.  by  W.  2^  or  3  miles.  Burut-head  is  so  called  by  reason  the  trees 
that  were  on  it  are  burnt  down. 

From  Burnt-head  to  Brigus,  is  8.  by  W.  1  league.  Tlie  south  point  of  Bri- 
gus  Is  a  high  ragged  point,  which  is  gixKl  to  know  it  by ;  the  b.iy  of  Brigus  is  not 
above  half  the  breadth  of  Port  Grave  bay,  and  you  runup  S.  W.  by  W.  and  W. 
H.  W.  about  half  a  league,  and  auchor  on  the  north  side,  where  two  planters  live 
in  a  small  bay.  Only  small  ships  use  this  place,  it  being  so  far  up  the  bay  of 
Conception. 

From  Brigus  to  Collier's  bay  is  S.  S.  \V.  2  J  or  3  mht :  and  from  Collier's 
bay  to  Salmon  cove  is  S.  about  21-  miles,  but  no  considerable  place.  It  is  some* 
times  called  Salmon  pool. 

From  Salmon  cove  to  Harbour  main  the  course  is  S.  S.  E.  about  2  miles.  li 
is  a  good  place  for  fishing,  but  ships  seldom  go  so  high  up  in  the  bay. 

From  Burnt  head  to  Harbour  main  is  about  3^  leagues  ;  and  from  Harbour 
main  to  Holy-road  is  S.  E.  by  S.  about  2  miles;  then  the  land  tends  about 
to  the  eastward  towards  Belle-isle.  Holy-road  has  11  fathoms  water,  good 
ground. 

From  Bay  Verd's  head  to  Split  point  the  course  is  E.  N.  E.  ^  a  league. 

From  Split  point  to  the  |)oint  of  the  Grates,  N.  N.  W.  two  leagues. 

From  the  point  of  the  Grates  to  the  N.  W.  or  north  end  of  the  island  Bacalieu, 
tiie  coui-se  is  £.  by  S.  4^  or  5  miles. 

From  the  Grates  to  Break-heart  point,  N.  N.  W.  W.  N.  W.  and  W.  tendU 
ing  about  two  points.  Between  the  Grates  and  this  point  it  a  bay,  where  boots 
may  lie  with  a  wind  off  the  land  of  Break-heart  point ;  there  is  a  ledge  of  rock^ 
but  above  water. 

From  Break-heart  point  toSherwick  point,  going  into  Old  Perlican,  the  course  , 
k  S.  \V.  by  S.  5  or  6  miles.     To  the  southward  of  Break -heart  point  is  a  small 
ishtod  some  little  distance  oiT  the  shore,  called  Scurvy  island ;  between  the  said 
island  and  Sherwick  point  runs  in  a  pretty  deep  bay,  and  lies  iu  S.  £.  froia 
Sherwick  point,  about  ^  of  a  mile. 

Sherwick  point  is  bold,  ofT  which  is  a  rock  above  water ;  tnis  point  is  the  north 
point  of  Old  Perlican.  Those  who  are  bound  to  Old  Perlican,  cannot  go  with  a 
ship  to  the  northward  of  the  island,  that  is,  between  the  island  and  Sherwick 
point.  Although  it  seems  a  fair  passage,  yet  it  is  altogether  foul  ground,  and  a 
ahoal  of  rocks  from  the  main  to  the  island  (which  island  is  about  a  mile  and  a  ^ 
round,  and  about  i  a  mile  in  length ;)  therefore  whoever  intends  for  Old  Perlican 
with  a  ship,  must  go  the  southward  of  the  island,  between  that  and  the  main,  and 
run  in  within  the  hland,  and  anchor  iu  4  or  5  fathoms.  But  there  is  a  rock 
just  even  with  the  water,  and  some  under  water,  that  lie  about  the  middle  of  the 
bayi  «ithia  the  islaad,  or  rather  nearest  to  the  main,    Qld  I^erlicaQ  is  btl|t  ai?  ia^

Smith's  sound  runs  in  W.  S.  VV.  alwut  15  leagues  from  Bonaventure  to  Tickle 
harlwur,  the  bottom  of  Trinity  bay  ;  but  there  is  a  bay,  called  Uay  Bulls,  which 
runs  in  3  or  4  leagues,  and  is  not  over,  from  thence  to  Placenli  <  bay,  (the  l)i\ck 
or  wcat  side  of  the  land)  about  two  miles;  and  the  islands  of  Placeutia  bay  arc 
about  9  or  10  leagues  long  each,  and  5  broad,  ou  which  are  man}'  deer ;  they  lic 
N.  W.  an<l  S.  E. 

From  Bonaventure  to  Ireland's  eye  is  S.  W.  2  or  2|  league?. 

From  Bonaventure  head  to  Bonaventure,  the  course  is  N.  W.  half  a  point 
westerly,  about  2  niHes,  or  n\ore ;  but  being  got  a  mile  from  the  head,  then  tlie 
harbour  lies  N.  W.  by  N.  about  a  mile  to  the  Admiral's  stage.  The  port  Bona, 
venture  lies  within  two  small  islands,  between  which  you  sail  in,  but  yon  may  go 
on  either  side  of  the  island,  between  that  and  the  main,  if  you  have  a  Un«ling 
"wind,  no  danger,  and  h?.ve  4  or  h  fathoms  at  least,  and  run  within  the  said  it^lnnds, 
and  anchor  in  that  depth,  in  gojdgrouud.  You  have  there  a  very  secure  place 
for  boats,  in  bad  weatlier,  ruiming  in  within  a  point  beliimi,  or  to  the  northward 
of  (he  Admiral's  stages,  like  a  great  pond,  leaving  the  planter's  house  on  the  la" 
board  side;  this  place  will  contain  above  100  boats  in  security. 

There  is  an  island  which  lies  olfthe  west  point  of  the  harbour,  called  Gull 
island,  oflT  which  they  used  to  fish ;  from  the  said  island  tiie  harbour  lies  in  N. 
about  a  mile.  There  are  several  islands  Avhich  are  without,  oflT  Bonaventure,  the 
enn  is  from  the  port  d.  S.  W.  5  or  0  miles,  called  Green  island,  which  is  a  pret- 
ty large  island,  and  you  see  it  as  soon  as  you  come  out  of  Trinity  harbour,  in  fair 
■weather;  another  island  lies  S.  W.  by  ^.  '-i  miles,  and  another  islaud  without 
ihat,  n.bout  4  or  5  miles  from  Bonaventure ;  the  course  is  S.  W.  by  S. 

From  Bonaveuture-liead  to  the  Horsechops  is  E.  N.  E.  3i  leagues. 

From  Bonaventure- head  to  Trinity  harb«}UT,  ia  N.  E.  by  IS.  about  3  leajfnea} 
between  which  are  some  bays,  but  not  for  ships  to  ride  iu,  unless  the  wind  is  off 
the  shore. 

The  HoTsechops  and  Slierwick  point  (being  the  north  point  of  Trinity  har- 
bour) lie  W.  N.  W.  and  E.  S.  E.  one  from  the  other,  2  leagues.  Between  'he 
Horserhops  and  Trinity  harbour  arc  two  places,  where  ships  used  to  fish ;  the 
one  is  English  harbour,  and  is  W.  N.  W.  from  the  Horsechops  2  miles,  and  after 
you  are  about  a  point,  tends  E.  \.  E.  again ;  it  is  a  clean  bay,  and  you  ride  in  4 
or  5  fathoms  water ;  a  planter  or  two  live  here.

where  planters  live;  and  over  against  that  cove,  on  Ihe  lirboard,  or  west  side, 
arc  two  other  coves  ;  the  northernmost  of  ihem  iscidlcd  the  Vire  Admird's  cove, 
for  the  conveideney  of  curing  fisli ;  and  abuve,  or  to  the  nor"hwar<|  of  this,  is  a 
large  cove  or  arm,  called  God  Almighty's  cove,  where  there  is  looni  enough  for 
3  or  400  sail  of  s-liips  to  ride,  all  in  clear  ground,  neiiher  w  itids  nor  sea  can  hurt

bour,  good  clean  ground,  tough  clay  in  all  the  arms  an<l  coves  of  Trinity,  and 
have  4  and  5  fathoms  water,  within  two  boats'  length  off  the  shore,  any  where, 
and  0,  7,  8,  0,  10, 12,  and  14  fathoms,  and  some  places  more,  in  the  middle  of 
the  arms  and  channels,  as  you  please  ;  you  may  turn  in  or  out,  as  aforesaid,  ob- 
serving your  tide,  which  rises  there  about  .1  feet,  sometimes  more.  For  not 
only  Sherwick  point  is  bold,  which  is  the  northernmost,  but  also  Salvages  which 
is  the  southernmost. 

From  the  llorsechopt  to  the  south  head  orrattaliiia  bay,  Is  N.  E.  by  N.  and 
N.  E.  5  leagues.  About  a  leogue  to  the  northward  of  the  Ilorscchops,  is  Gvecn 
bay,  which  runs  pretty  deep  in,  but  no  place  where  ships  use  to  ride  or  fish. 
Being  past  Greeo  bay  ;  there  is  uo  place  or  cove  fur  boats,  till  you  come  to 
Ragged  Harbour,  or  Cattalina. 

From  the  soulh  liead  of  Cattalinn  bay  to  the  north  head,  is  N.  N.  E.  3  leagues, 
between  which  two  heads  is  Ragged  harbour  and  Cattalina  harbour.  Cattalina 
harbour  lies  from  the  south  head  N.  by  E.  Northeiiy  about  two  miles. 

Ragged  harbour  is  so  called,  by  reason  of  the  abundance  of  ragged  and  crag- 
gy rocks,  which  lie  before  and  within  the  harlMur;  there  is  no  going  into  tlie 
southward,  ^with  ships,  but  only  for  boats,  and  that  you  must  be  well  acquainted 
with,  for  there  are  very  many  rocks  above  and  under  water. 

Those  who  intend  for  Ragged  harbour,  witli  a  ship,  must  go  to  the  northward 
of  all  the  aforesaid  ragged  rocks  or  islands,  that  lie  before  it,  (w;bich  make  the 
harbour)  and  run  to  far  to  the  northward  till  they  bring  ragged  harbour  open  y 
then  sail  in  between  a  round  island  which  lies  close,  to  the  main,  and  a  great  black 
r«ck^  V'hich  lies  off  ^e  north  end  of  all  the  rafgcd  isboda  ;  sail  is  till  thev  ar^

entrance  of  Placentia  Bay:  They  lie  east  and  ^est  of  each  other,  in  the  latitude 
4U°  53'  N'.  distant  fioin  each  other  10  leagues. 

Ca|)e  Chapeaurouge  lias  already  been  described :  From  it  to  Sauker  head, 
(wliich  is  a  high  hill,  iu  the  shape  of  a  sugar  loaf,)  the  coiirHe  is  E.  N.  E.  distant 
3  miles;  between  them  lie  the  harbours  of  Great  and  Little  St.  Laurence,  which 
have  also  been  described. 

From  Sauker  head  to  Small  point,  (which  is  the  lowest  land  hereabouts,)  the 
course  is  N.  63"  K.  2  miles:  And  from  Small  point  to  Corbin  head,  (which  is  a 
tcry  high  bluiT  head,)  is  N.  E.  2^  miles:  There  are  many  high  head  lands  be- 
tween them,  which  form  several  coves,  the  bottom  of  which  may  be  seen  in  sailing 
along  shore.  The  coast  is  clear  of  rocks,  and  30  fathoms  close  to  the  shore,  but 
no  shelter  for  any  thing.  From  Cofbin  head  to  Shalloway  point,  tlie  course  is 
]N'.  N.  E.  I  £.  4^  miles.  Between  them,  and  nearly  on  the  same  courfc,  lie  2, 
▼cry  high  round  islands,  called  Corbin  and  Little  Burin.  Corbin  island  has 
very  much  the  ap[)earance  of  Chapeaurouge,  when  coming  in  with  the  land,  and 
seen  through  the  fog.  These  islanils  are  high,  and  are  little  more  than  a  cable's 
length  from  shore. 

From  Corbin  head  to  Cat  island,  the  course  is  N.  E.  4  mites  nearly;  thb  h  a 
Mgh  round  island  near  the  south  end  of  Great  Burin  island. 

About  a  mile  to  the  northward  of  Corbin  head,  in  a  bight,  lies  Corbin  har-- 
bour,  which  is  very  good  for  small  vessels.  The  best  anchorage  is  in  the  N.  arm, 
at  about  a  |  of  a  mile  Avithin  the  entrance,  opposite  a  cove  on  the  starboard  side. 
A  ^  of  a  mile  to  the  eastward  of  this  harbour,  and  two  cable's  length  from  the 
shore,  is  a  sunken  rock,  on  which  the  sea  breaks  in  bad  weather,  and  has  not 
depth  sufiicieot  at  low  water  for  a  boat  to  go  over  it.  Vessels  bound  for  this 
harbour  must  avoid  a  shoal  which  lies  a  ^  of  a  mile  to  the  east  of  the  south  point 
of  the  entrance  to  the  harbour,  on  which  is  only  2  fathoms  water.  Between  the 
two  high  round  islaads,  Bfprementioaed,  and  the  main,  there  is  from  7  to  1 5  falh-

After  you  are  within  Hhalloway  island,  you  may  anchor  in  safety  between  that 
and  Great  Burin  island,  from  12  to  18  fathoms  water.  'Ihe  best  am'btTa<j;e  in 
Great  Burin  haruuur  u  iu  Ship  cove.  The  course  uj)  to  it,  after  you  ore  within 
^N'cck  point,  is  iioith  about  I-}  mile,  and  is  better  than  a  ^  of  a  mile  wide;  tot<ail 
up  to  it,  keep  the  west  shore  on  board,  in  order  to  avoid  a  Fuuken  roclc  on  Iho 
eastern  shore  at  about  half  the  way  up,  aiul  about  half  a  cable's  length  from  the 
shore,  directly  olT,  is  a  remarkable  hole  in  the  rock  on  the  same  si<lc,  aud  a  re- 
markable gully  in  the  land,  from  the  top  to  the  bottom,  on  the  westeru  shore. 
There  is  another  rock,  on  which  is  only  2|  fathoms  water  $  it  lies  better  than  a 
cable's  ItMigth  to  the  southward  of  flarbour  point,  which  is  a  round  green  point, 
of  a  moderate  height,  .joined  to  Great  Uurin  ibiand  by  a  low  narrow  sandy  neck. 

After  passing  Little  Buriu  island,  I  n)ilc  north,  you  come  into  Burin  bay, 
which  is  a  clear  bay,  about  a  mile  broad  every  way,  aud  where  ships  may  occa- 
wonally  anchor  safely,  being  almost  hndlocked.  The  course  into  this  bay  from 
Uttle  Burio  island  is  north.  All  the  land  about  tliia  bay  is  very  high.  In  it  arc 
two  islands,  one  a  low  barren  island,  called  Poor  island;  the  other,  which  runs 
to  the  north,  is  high  aud  woody,  and  lies  before  the  mouth  of  Rurin  inlet,  on  the 
other  side  of  which  vessels  may  puss  up  the  inlet.  A  iiitic  within  the  CDtrnnce, 
on  the  eastsific,  half  a  cable's  length  from  the  shore,  is  a  rock  covered  at  J  floij, 
at  ]\  mile  from  the  entrance;  near  the  middle  is  another  rock,  to  the  west  of 
which  is  very  good  anclioi"nge. 

The  S.  W.  entrance  into  Burin  b  irbour,  which  is  a  ^  of  a  mile  wide,  is  form- 
»;d  by  Siialloway  island  and  the  N«!ck  point,  in  which  there  is  no  danger,  giving 
a  birth  to  Poor  island  on  the  larboard  side.  When  in  Uurin  bay.  the  cour!>c 
through  the  S.  W.  entrance  into  the  harbour  is  E.  N.  E.  and  whi.n  past  the 
points  that  form  the  entrance,  the  course  is  north  up  the  harbour,  which  is  hct< 
ter  than  a  |:  of  a  mile  wide,  and  li  mile  long  up  to  Ship's  cove,  where  it  is  half 
a  mile  wide  every  way.     This  is  the  best  anchorage. 

There  are  only  two  dangers  wiljiin  Bniiii  harbour  that  do  not  appear  above 
water ;  the  first  is  a  small  ahoal  on  the  stHrl-oard  side,  about  half  way  up  'he  har- 
bour, directly  off  a  remarkable  hole  iu  the  cliff  on  the  starboard  side,  going  up, 
colled  tlie  Oven ;  atid  about  half  a  cable's  length  from  the  shore;  there  is  also  on 
(lie  other  side,  directly  opposite,  a  remarkable  gully  in  the  land,  from  the  top  to 
tiie  bottom.  The  long  mark  to  keep  to  the  westward  of  this  rock  is.  not  to  bring 
Little  Burin  island  to  the  eastward  of  Neck  point.  The  other  slioal,  on  which 
there  is  8  fathoms,  is  very  small,  aud  lies  about  a  cable's  length  S.  S.  W.  from 
Harbour  point. 

The  east  passage  into  Burin  harbour  is  not  very  safe  to  sail  in  without  a  com- 
manding gale,  and  that  between  the  N.  N.  E.  and  S.  E.  To  sail  into  this  pas-' 
sage,  and  coming  from  the  westward,  come  not  withiu  2  miles  of  the  shore  on  the 
east  side  of  Burin  island,  (because  of  several  clusters  of  rocks.)  till  you  bring  the 
north  point  of  Pardy's  island  open  to  the  northw:*rd  of  Iron  island;  then  sail  right 
in  for  Iron  islftnd,  leaving  it  on  your  larboard  side  ^oing  in  ;  then  steer  for  the 
said  point  of  Pardy's  island,  and  that  will  avoid  all  danger.  It  must  btj  observed, 
with  the  aforementioned  winds  there  is  commonly  a  great  swell  sets  to  the  shore 
on  the  starboard  side  going  in;  therefore,  in  case  of  little  winds,  (which  often

Iron  island  is  a  small  hiKh  island,  lyin^  N.  IV  E.  (  !'-■  I  leaf;ue  from  the  S.  E. 
point  of  Great  liurin  island,  and  S.  S.  VV  {.  \V.  I  mile  from  Moriier  west  head, 
and  E.  1(  mile  from  the  noilh  part  of  Purdy's  island.  Vet-sels  bound  for  the 
harbours  of  Uurin  may  pass  on  <!idiersi(ie  of  Iron  island,  the  only  danger  passing 
to  the  northward  is  tlie  Brandys,  which  almot^t  always  break;  they  lie  near  a 
quarter  of  a  mile  to  the  southward  of  a  lowMctck  above  water,  close  under  the 
Itiiidof  Mortier  west  head.  If  the  wind  should  take  you  a-hcad  after  you  are 
vithia  Iron  iKlaud,  lake  cave  to  keep  Mortier  west  head  open  to  the  westward 
of  Iron  island,  in  order  to  avoid  Gri^ory's  rock,  on  which  is  only  2  fathoms  wa- 
ter. The  m«rk  to  carry  you  on  this  rock  is,  to  brliig  the  flag-stuff  on  St.  George's 
bland  (in  the  centie  of  the  pns8a<;e  between  Great  Durin  and  Fardy's  islands 
and  Mortier  west  head)  on  with  the  wet't  side  of  Iron  i^^land  ;  this  ruck  almost 
always  breaks :  Vessels  may  |iass  with  safety  between  this  rock  aud  Iron  island) 
taking  care  to  give  Iron  island  a  birth  of  one  cable's  length. 

On  the  main,  within  Parity's  ishiid,  are  two  remarkalle  white  marks  in  tlie

Mortier  bank  lies  E.  by  S.  2  Icagucn  from  Iron  island,  and  N.  25*  E.  5  leagues 
from  Cape  Jude:  the  shoal  part  of  this  bank  is  -.iboiit  1  league'  over.  On  it 
you  have  not  less  than  7  fathoms  water,  but,  by  the  fishermen's  account,  there  is 
not  more  than  4  fathoms  on  one  part  of  it :  in  bad  weather,  the  sea  bi«aks  very 
high  ou  it.  ^ 

About  3  miles  to  the  N.  N.  E.  from  Iron  island  is  the  opening  of  Moilic;  bay, 
Bt  the  entrance  of  which  is  a  round  island,  called  Mortier  island,  lying ..  XrA  of 
the  distaure  from  the  west  side.  Ships  may  sail  in  on  either  side  of  it.  1(  i  Oold 
too  all  round.  Close  to  the  first  point  beyond  the  island,  on  the  lafboarn  sitle 
i;oing  iu,  is  another  little  island,  scarcely  perceptible,  as  it  lies  close  tinder  the 
land;  and,  two  cable's  length  from  it,  in  a  direct  line  towards  the  outer  island,  is 
a  sunken  rock,  on  whicli  the  sea  breaks  in  bad  weather ;  there  is  do  other  dan- 
ger io  this  bay.  At  the  bottom  of  it,  1^  mile  from  Mortier  island,  ou  the  east 
side,  there  is  a  cove,  called  Fox  cove,  wherein  is  good  anchorage,  and  room  for  1 
ship  to  moor  iu  9  fathoms,  g;ood  holding  ground.  They  will  lie  two  points  open 
to  the  sea,  that  is  from  S.  S.  E.  to  S.  E.  A  around  swell  Uimbles  into  the  cove 
iu  bad  weather,  but  no  anchor  was  ever  known  to  come  home  here.  Fishing 
ships  sometimes  ride  here  the  season.  On  the  west  side  of  the  bay  is  the  har- 
bour, which  is  small  aud  uarrow,  'but  a  very  good  one  for  small  vessels,  where 
they  iie  moored  to  the  shore.  There  is  7  and  8  fathoms  through  the  entrance,

The  coast  is  eatiily  known  in  clear  weather,  by  the  Chapei«rou';e,  and  other 
remarkable  lieul  laiitls.  The  best  directions  that  can  be  given  incomtii;:  i  >  with

islantl.<  except  Kerryland  heitl,  which  h  very  near  the  main,  so  at  not  to  be  dis- 
tinguislietl  as  an  island  till  very  clo»e  to  the  shore  ;  also  that  the  islands  about 
Bnrin  are  large  and  full  as  high  as  the  main  land ;  those  about  Lniin  are  small, 
aud  scare  h:>lf  the  height  of  the  main  land,  and  the  Lami  line^  arc  2  low  flat  isl- 
aids.  There  are  several  small  rocks  just  alwvc  w'-iter  between  Lann  and  Fiamc- 
line,  anti  there  are  none  such  any  wlic.e  else  along  the  coast.  The  land  from 
Morlk-rliead  up  the  bay,  is  high,  rocky,  and  uneven  witli  several  iblauds  near 
the  coast,  which  form  many  capes  and  ragccd  [loints. 

From  Moriier  head  to  Red  island,  the  course  is  N.  E.  by  E.  dii^tance  1 G  leagues. 
This  island  is  high,  and  may  be  seen  iu  cleir  weather,  12  leagues  from  the  decks.

Red  island  is  high  barren  land,  about  5  miles  long  and  3  miles  broad.  The 
south  point  lies  N.  W.  1 1  miles  from  Placentia  road.  On  the  east  side  near  the 
north  end  is  a  small  harbour,  which  is  only  fit  for  shallops. 

Point  Latina  lies  nbout  5  milrs  to  the  norlhward  of  Placentia  road ;  between 
these  places  the  land  is  low  and  even  near  the  sf;a,  but  just  within  it  high  and

THE  entrance  of  8t.  Marj''B  bay  is  formed  by  Cape  L.ince  on  the  west,  and 
Cape  Pine  on  the  cast  side.  The  land  from  point  Lance  lies  E.  by  N.  4'  N.  3

lies  IN.  E.  by  N.  and  S.  W.  by  S.  10  leagues  up  to  the  head  of  the  bay.  From 
the  aforementioned  blufT  cape,  to  Cape  English,  on  tiie  east  shore,  the  course  is 
!^.  E.  i  £.  distance  5  leagues. 

Cape  St.  Mary's  is  a  very  high  blufT  point,  makes,  in  all  directions,  much  like 
Cape  St.  Vincent  on  the  coast  of  Portugal,  and  tl)c  land  along  shore  from  it,  for 
a  considerable  distance,  appears  even,  and  neuly  of  equal  height  with  the  capo 
itself,  which  lies  due  west,  distance  between  17  ov  18  leagues  from  Cnpe  Chn- 
peaurouge,  and  is  in  the  latitude  40°  52'  N.  A  little  to  the  northward  of  litis 
cape  is  a  small  core,  where  fishing  sliallops  shelter  with  southerly  aud  easterly 
winds. 

From  Cape  St.  Mary''s  S.  E.  by  E.  distance  5^  miles,  lie  the  Bull  and  Cow 
rocks,  which  are  two  flat  rocks,  and  very  near  together,  with  reveral  smallei- 
i'ocks  about  them,  all  above  water  ;  they  may  be  seen  4  leagues  from  the  deck 
when  open  from  the  land,  but  when  shut  on  witli  the  land,  they  are  not  distiit- 
guishable  so  far.  They  bear  west,  distant  3  miles  from  Point  Lance,  which  is  a 
low  ra^ed  point  which  forms  the  eittrance  on  the  west  side  of  St.  Mary'h  bay.. 
The  Bull  and  Cow  lie  1  mile  from  the  nearest  part  of  the  main  liiud  ;  at  |  of  the 
distance  from  them  to  the  main,  is  a  small  rock  that  appears  above  water  at  half 
tide;  tliereis  10  fathoms  between  this  rock  and  the  main,  and  15  fathoms  be- 
tween it  and  the  Bull  aud  Cow.  Ships  may  safely  pass  within  the  Bull  and  Cow 
uccasionally. 

St.  Mwy's  rocks  He  S.  by  W.  distant  7^  miles  from  Cape  St.  Mary's,  and  S. 
W.  by  W.  from  Point  Lance,  and  S.JW.  J  W.  from  the  Bull  aud  Cow.  These 
arc  two  rocks  which  appear  juot  above  water,  upon  which  the  sea  almost  alway« 
breaks  very  high.  They  lie  S.  £.  and  N.  W.  from  each  other,  distance  about 
3  cable's  length ;  in  the  middle,  between  them  is  a  channel  of  a  cable's  IcngtU

all  round  them,  e.\cept  to  the  S.  E.  nt  two  oablc's  length  ;  distance  is  6  fathoms. 
Between  these  rocks,  and  Cape  St.  Mary's,  is  25  and  30  fathoms  water,  and  all 
about  Cape  St.  Mary's,  at  2  and  3  leagues  distance,  is  the  same  depth  of  Avater.

out  much  diiFiculty  that  very  great  mischief  was  prevented  by  their  running

nod  that  you  may  bear  up,  obM'rve  uu  the  aouth  khure  a  little  rvnoA  jiwunlaii), 
(lliere  beluff  no  oilier  lie  u,)  when  you  have  bruu^ht  this  little  mountain  open  t» 
the  wiHitwaid  of  the  Twolicud  I.  land,  you  may  bear  up  for  Orleans,  Ac.     Aa 
tiwi  Two-head  itttaiid  cannot  be  well  disllnxiushed  by  a  strainer,  from  tlie  other 
i>,laiid«,  ho  it  may  be  siijipwed  a  blraiiRcr  will  not  Htlcinpl  to  past  the  Traverse, 
wiihowt  ftist  ac(|Hulnii!iK  himself  with  It.)     TIiIm  little  iiiuuutain,  w|ien  open  of 
liie  Two-head  Isiuiid,  will  bear  S-  tJO'  E.  there  is  no  daiigrr  in  standing  farther  to 
iIk  iiouthwaid,  as  the  channel  Is  pretty  wide;  but  as  there  is  aalioal  between 
you  and  Rot  Ulaiid,  on  which  is  but  0  leet  at  low  water,  and  uneven  rocks;  to 
a>  oid  this  shoal  you  shuuUI  olwcrve  the  point  of  Orleans  for  marks,  as  aforesaid. 
There  is  a  mark  to  know  when  you  are  coming  otj  llic  cd|;e  of  this  shoal, 
wjiicli  in,  observe  lo  tlie  eastward,  on  the  ^oulh  main  land,  a  momMaio,  whicb 
apiiears  to  have  three  |)oinlri,  of  an  lequitl  tli»tai)cc;  when  this  mountnio  is  brought 
on  the  cast  point  of  Canoe  islnml,  j  ou  arc  coming  ou  the  edge  of  this  sIhmI  ; 
there  U  likewise  a  little  rocky  l»laiid  off  Burnt  cape,  which,  when  you  are  ou 
tlie  end  of  this  shoal,  will  be  aUiut  2  ship's  length  open  of  Cape  Oroi-Be.   When 
you  are  on  the  slio  tl,  tlie  isluud  will  be  nearly  in  a  MDfi  with  Cape  Ujrosse,  and 
lite  Tlirec-polnted  mountain  with  Canoe  i&Iaiul. 
To  make  use  of  the  three  mountains  uloresaid, 

Xn  coming  U\>  pa*t  Burnt  capo,  when  you  have  brought  the  west  end  of  the 
westcr-iniosl  mountnin  on  with  tlie  east  cn«l  of  Rot  island,  you  may  steer  over 
with  them  in  one  line,  until  you  open  St.  John's  point,  as  aforesaid.    Nor  is 
tlieic  any  daoKer  in  bringing  the  eatit  eiid  of  the  westernmost  iiiountaia  on  with 
the  east  end  of  Rot  island,  but  it  should  not  be  brought  to  the  westward  of  it  until 
vpu  have  open  St.  John's  poiut.    Vou  inlifht  by  this  last  mark  go  over  near  Rot 
island,  and  go  up  to  the  southward  of  the  middle  shoal,  with  St.  John's  Church 
iust  open  of  the  p«»int ;  in  this  channel  is  deep  water,  but  it  u  narrow ;  it  is  called 
the  Old  Traverse,  and  the  other  is  called  the  New  Traverse.    It  is  not  proper 
for  the  Old  Traverse  to  be  made  use  of, ««  the  passage  between  the  middle  shoal 
and  the  sand  off  Burnt  cape  ledge  is  narrow,  mkI  you  will  be  so  much  th&longer 
going  across  the  tide,  which  may  carry  you  out  of  the  way  if  you  are  not  very 
attentive  to  the  marks.    The  middle  shoal  reaches  up  the  river  until  you  have 
got  Bellchaje  church  a  good  deal  open  of  the  west  end  of  Rot  island,  but  as  a 
mark  of  this  kiad  is  very  deceiving,  it  reaches  until  you  have  brought  the  eaft 
end  of  the  middle  mountain  on  the  west  end  of  Rot  island,  and  then  you  will  be 
past  it,  and  have  the  channel  open  from  uear  the  island  of  Orleans,  to  very  uear 
the  wcat  end  of  Rot  island,  and  may  anchor  between  Orleans  and  Madame  irf- 
anda,  or  proceed  up  the  rivor,  at  pleasure.    If  it  should  be  thick  weather,  and 
Tou  would  pass  the  Traverse,  and  the  mountains  cannot  be  seen,  nor  the  ends  of 
the  shoals  btwyed,  it  migh«  be  done  by  keeping  one  or  two  houses  open  of  the  east 
end  of  Rot  island,  or  the  third  house  may  be  brought  in  a  line  with  it,  but  should 
.pot  he  opened;  ami  these  marks  may  be  obBcrtcd  until  you  have  0}>etied  S<. 
iQbn'i  point,  as  aforesaid.

the  south  river;  and  '.o  keep  clear  of  this  shoal,  you  should  always  see  a  pnrt  of

near  Crane  island;  herit  is  every  where  ;;ood  anchorage, cIh}  bottom,  and  in  the 
channel,  in  most  places,  7  fathoms  water.  The  south  shore  is  every  where  else

from  the  S.  S.  W.  At  town  the  wind  from  S.  by  E.  does  no  harm,  but  from  8. 
by  W.  to  S.  W.  by  S.  if  blowing  hard  for  any  considerable  time,  it  is  apt  to  set 
the  small  vessels  adrift  at  the  wharves ;  but  in  the  stream,  with  good  cables  and 
•Dehors,  no  wind  can  hurt  you. 

Shelburne  light-house  is  built  on  the  south-eastern  end  of  M  Knutt's  Island, 
tad  forms  the  western  side  of  the  entrance  into  the  barbour.    It  exhibited  lights.

to  the  K.  N.  1"  there  are  three  low  islands  to  the  S.  W.  of  Graud  Manan  isl- 
and, winch  lie  due  S.  E.  from  Marinas,  distant  4  leajjfues,  which  you  must  be 
C'irelul  ol  in  the  night.  You  may  see  the  island  of  ftrand  Mau'^n  2  or  3  leagues 
h"fore  >ou  come  to  it,  and  when  it  bears  N.  E.  these  islands  nnis  S.  W.  from 
Grand  Vlanan  about  2  leagues  distant,  and  in  thick  weather  if  yon  make  these 
inlands,  you  may  run  for  Maehias;  I  ringing  said  island  to  Itear  S.  E.  and  then 
run  N.  W.  for  the  entrance  of  Machia<:  or  if  you  make  the  S.  W.  end  of  Grand 
Manan,  bring  it  to  bear  E.  by  S.  and  steer  W.  by  N.  for  Machias,  5  le'>gues  dis- 
tant, and  when  you  have  passed  Cross  island,  which  you  leave  on  yoursiarlward 
hand,  y|cu  tnay  steer  north.  In  steering  this  course  you  will  leave  a  large  white 
rock  on  your  larboard  band,  and  if  yon  do  uol  want  logo  into  Machins  harbour, 
you  may  haul  to  the  westward.  After  you  have  passed  this  rock  about  Haifa 
ndic,  bria{|;  a  high  round  inland  that  is  cov(  red  with  trees  to  bear  norths  when 
you  may  anchor  in  4  or  5  fathomfi,  muddy  bottom.  This  is  called  Jones'  har- 
bour, but  if  you  mean  to  go  up  to  M.ichias.  you  must  keep  your  course  nor'.htill 
you  pass  a  roUiid  high  island  on  your  larboard  hand,  when  you  may  shape  your 
course  W.  S.  W'.  or  VV.  by  S.  for  a  point  that  is  covered  with  youn^ birch  trees, 
and  a  Imuse  ou  it,  for  on  the  starboard  hand  there  is  nothing  but  flats  and  shoals; 
you  may  kesp  yotir  larboard  hand  after  you  pass  this  house  until  the  river  opens 
to  the  northward,  ^vheo  you  may  run  up  to  Cross  river,  where  you  may  anclmt 
in  four  fathoms ;  but  if  you  are  bound  up  to  the  S.  W.  mills,  you  must  haul  away

light  house,  (which  contains  a  lixed  light)  but  be  raretui  not  to  IhuI  in  lor  it  till 
it  bears  N.  V..  as  there  is  a  large  led^e  of  rocks  bearing  about  W.  N.  W.  from 
said  liead,  1  mile  distant;  but  within  it,  a  pii<tol  (■hot  from  the  Amw.  is  salie  navi- 
galiou.  There  is  a  good  harboiir  called  Seal  harbour,  on  yonr  b-rlMianl  baud 
as  you  pnsk  this  heati,  (bound  to  lli(;eat>twni(l)  where  yuu  may  lie  ^al<:  from  all 
winds.  In  going  in  you  must  give  (he  larbond  band  a  biilb  as  tluie  is  a  sunken 
leilge,  which  extends  about  |  across  the  mouth  of  the  harbour,  thai  bivaks  wlien 
there  is  any  sea,  unjebh  at  high  water. 

Your  ciuasc  fiom  White  iieadis  N.  K.  to  Ash  point  or  island,  I  league  di.tant, 
which  has  a  large  rock  to  tli«  S.  W  of  it,  about  {  a  mile  distant,  w  hicli  you  must 
leave  on  your  larboard  hand.  It  is  not  in  the  way  except  you  arc  obli<!ed  !o 
go  about.  When  you  haul  round  tliis  island,  give  it  a  small  birth,  a:id  steer  N. 
N.  E.  or  N.  E.  by  N.  for  the  Owl's  head,  leaving  2  islands  on  your  stHilxiard 
hand :  bat  wh(!n  you  draw  near  the  larl)oard  shore,  you  st(!er  about  E.  N  E.  lor 
the  Owl's  head,  which  has  a  good  harl:our  on  the  laiboaid  hand  ns  you  go  tu  the

This  harbour  is  open  to  the  wind  at  E.  by  IV.  and  E.  N.  E.  but  in  all  other 
winds  you  are  safe.  The  tide  of  flood  sets  to  the  eastward,  and  the  tide  of  ebb 
S.  W.  through  Uie  Muscle  Rid;:i«. 

If  it  is  night  when  you  come  to  White  head,  you  ha<l  belter  not  attempt  going 
through  the  Muscle  llidges.  Your  best  way  is  to  go  by  *  Two  Biisli  island, 
which  you  must  leave  ou  your  starboard  huid,  keeping  your  coune  E.  N.  U. 
or  N.  E.  by  E. 

If  you  are  ia  n  large  vessel,  your  best  way  is  to  go  ia  this  passage,  ns  il  is  Uie 
most  safe.  You  must  follow  your  course,  as  alwve  dii-ec(ed,  aliout  2  leagues, 
when  you  will  have  Penobscot  bay  open,  aud  then  you  may  direct  your  course 
to  either  side  of  Long  Mand.  If  you  go  to  the  westward,  your  couise  is  N.  N. 
£.  to  Great  Hprucc  liead.  which  having  leaned  7  leagues,  your  course  is  N.  E, 
by  N.  5  leagues  to  Old  Fort  p«>iut.  In  steering  said  couise  you  will  leave  Bel- 
fast bay  and  Brigadiei's  isl«od  on  your  larboard  hand,  which  island  lias  a  gootl 
harbour,  and  if  yon  mean  to  go  into  il  you  must  leave  it  on  your  larboard  hand 
«nd  steer  in  about  N.  or  N.  by  W.  Yoit  may  run  up  above  this  island,  and  an-

course  through  to  the  eastward  is  N.  K.  and  to  the  wenlwaril  S.  W.  keeping  near 
the  middle  of  the  passnge.     Before  you  come  up  with  Ai*b  point,  you  must  be 
careful  of  a  sunken  rock,  which  lies  ofl"  the  point  about  f  of  the  paxsagr,  whirh 
has  not  more  than  0  feet  water  at  low  water.     But  if  you  should  go  through  this 
p.-issage   in  the  night,  keep  I'otatoe  island  (which  is  right  agniiiht  AkIi  island* 
about  S.  8.  VV.  from  it,  aud  bare  of  Irrcs,  which  you  leave;  on  your  starboard  hand) 
best  on  board.     When  you  pasn  I'otatoe  inlnnd,  aud  aro  bound  into  OwI'h  head, 
your  course  is  N.  N.  E.  aboul  2  miles,  which  will  leave  2  islands  on  the  Mar* 
board  hand.     When  you  o|)en  the  passage  lo  Owl's  head,  and  bound  to  Edge-

and  you  will  make  a  large  island  on  your  starboard  hand.     When  you  pass  this 
island,  you  have  the  passage  open  lo  Buck's  harbour :  continue  your  course  N. 
E.  till  you  pass  by  all  the  islands,  to  the  soiithwHrd  and  northward.     In  the  day 
time  you  may  see  Blue  hill  bearing  E.  N.  E.  over  all  the  liuid.     This  passage 
is  safe  to  go  ihroiigh  with  a  first  rale  man  of  war.     When  you  come  within  two 
miles  of  the  Reach,  you  will  make  a  small  island  on  your  starboard  hand,  which 
has  a  sunken  rock  to  the  northward  of  it.     Your  safest  way  is  to  keep  the  mid- 
dle of  the  passage,  as  there  is  n  sunken  rock  or  ledge  ou  the  larboard  hand,  that 
lies  E.  by  S.  from  an  island  which  you  leave  on  your  larboard  hand,  about  half 
a  mile  distant.     If  you  want  to  make  a  harbour,  you  may  go  into  Buck's  har< 
hour  by  a  N.E.  or'N.  E.  by  N.  course.     Wbeu  you  come  intothit'  harbour, 
(which  is  12  leagues  from  Owl's  head,)  )0U  must  leave  an  island,  covered  witb 
young  birch  trees,  on  j  our  starboard  hand,  steering  N.  N.W.  and  when  you  get  to

wliere  you  will  be  land-locked  from  all  winds,  in  4  or  5  fathoros,  soft  bottom. 

When  you  leave  BuckV  harbour,  and  bound  lo  \ke  eastward,  you  steer  8.  E. 
till  you  come  lo  a  large  rock  ami  4  islands,  which  you  leave  on  your  larboard 
baud,  keeping  the  s«»d  rock  and  iMarids  best  on  board,  for  there  is  a  sunken  ledge 
that  lies  8.  8.  W.  from  Ihem.  You  will  make  a  black  island  on  your  starboard

ing E.  by  S.  1  iengoe,  which  eonvbe  will  carry  yon  up  with  Trum  cap,  wliicli 
island  has  a  bar  of  rocks,  that  lies  near  half  a  mile  to  the  northward ;  but  if  yort 
have  a  head  wind,  and  are  obliged  to  turn  througli,  you  will  observe  the  chauuet 
is  2  miles  wide  to  Channel  rock,  which  is  always  above  water. 

When  you  leave  this  Trun)  cap,  steer  E.  by  S.  which  wiH  carry  you  between 
the  Ship  and  Barge,  and  3  islamis  whidi  you  leave  on  your  larboard  liHiid;  uhiih 
are  covered  with  large  rock  maple  trees.  'Die  Barge  is  a  bare  rock,  which  you 
kave  on  your  starboard  hand ;  but  there  rt  ai  rock  ab«)ut  a  cable's  leirgth  to  the 
northwat-d  of  the  Barge.  Continue  your  course  E.by  H.  for  Bass  harbour,  dis-

ebb,  which  sets  very  strong  to  the  8. 8.  E.  and  the  tide  of  flood  to  the  ^.  N.  W. 
If  you  are  bound  into  Bass  harbour,  you  keep  Rich's  point  within  a  cable's

must  give  both  sides  a  birth,  for  at  lo\V  water  it  is  shoal.  When  you  get  uito

ing thetibove  courses,  you  will  gee  Franklin  Island  light  ou  your  starboard  hand. 
Before  you  come  up  with  the  light  you  will  make  the  western  Egg  rock,  which 
is  high,  and  may  be  seen  2  or  3  leagues  distant,  and  must  be  left  on  your  larboard

is  a  dry  rock  on  your  starboard  hand,  but  you  may  continue  your  E.  N.  E. 
course  without  danger  till  past  the  light,  and  it  bears  W.  S.  W.  which  course 
you  continue  till  up  with  Pleasant  point,  which  lies  on  the  larboard  hand,  about 
4  leagues  distant.  If  you  have  a  liead  wind  and  are  obliged  to  turn  to  wiiul- 
•ward,  you  must  not, after  passing  Penniequid  point,  stand  to  the  northward  of  the 
western  Eg^  rock,  as  there  are  2  sunk'u  le-!ges,  called  New  Harbour  ledges,

Avard  of  the  eastern  island,  but  you  must  be  carehd  of  a  ledg«!  that  lies  to  the 
eastward  of  said  island,  which  you  must  leave  on  your  siaibonrd  hand  ;  and 
when  you  bring  Manhcigin  to  bear  S.  W.  you  may  go  N.  E.  If  night  should 
come  on,  or  the  wind  n-lieadr  you  may  haul  up  about  N  E.by  N.  for  Tenant's 
harbour,  which  lies  about  3  leagues  from  George's  islands.  You  cannot  miss 
this  harbour  iu  the  day  time.  You  will  make  Musqueto  harbour,  which  lies  be- 
tween 2  islands  covered  with  spruce  trees.  The  entrance  of  (he  harbour  is  north, 
When  you  have  passed  this  harbour,  you  will  run  about  2  miles,  keeping  your 
course  N.  E.  by  ?J.  when  you  will  pass  by  an  island  with  burnt  trees  on  it,  which 
you  leave  on  your  Larboard  hand,  and  2  islands  on  your  starboard  hand,  which 
also  have  burnt.trees  on  them  ;  then  you  must  brina;  the  harbour  to  boar  W.  N. 
W.  before  you  enter.  This  is  a  good  harbour  provided  you  have  neither  ca- 
bles or  anchors,  as  you  may  save  ^otir  vessel  by  running  up  to  the  head  of  it, 
on  niud<ly  bottom,  which  will  be  dry  at  low  water.

Directiotis ybr  Townstnd  Harb6ur. 

IF  you  come  from  the  westward  and  make  Seguine  island,  you  miift  leave  it 
on  your  iaiboard  hsud,  give  it  a  birth  of  about  half  a  iidle,  and  stoerN.  E. 
about  2  leagues,  which  course  will  carry  you  to  Squirrel  island;  if  it  is  day 
time,  you  will  see  2  large  rocks  (called  the  Cuckolds)  on  your  larboard  hand, 
to  which  you  give  a  small  birth,  atjd  wlien  you  pass  them  you  will  niake  Squirrel 
island,  which  you  leave  on  your  starboard  hand,  directing  your  course  K.  i  W, 
about  4  or  5  miles  The  entrance  of  Townsend  is  narruw,  and  there  is  a  small 
rocky  island  that  is  very  low,  which  you  leave  on  your  starboard  baud ;  then 
you  may  haul  to  the  N.  E.  or  N.  E  by  E.  but  iu  a  dark  night  and  thick  weather, 
I  tvould  recommend  to  anchor  under  the  lee  of  Squirrel  island,  where  you  may- 
make  a  good  harbour  with  any  wind  that  blows,  as  you  may  go  round  this  island 
with  any  vessel  whatever ;  but  iu  the  day  t'.me  tlicie  is  not  the  least  d'^nger  iu 
going  in,  only  follow  the  above  directions,  and  you  may  anchor  in  the  N.  E.  or 
the  S.  W.  side,  but  the  N.  E.  harbour  is  the  best  and  safest  with  all  winds.  In 
going  to  the  N.  E.  harbour  you  will  leave  a  simll  ishnd  on  your  larboard  hand, 
which  bting  to  bear  S.  W.  and  you  will  be  safe  from  all  winds,  and  if  you  lose 
your  cables  and  anchors,  you  may  run  your  vessel  up  to  the  head  of  thcharbour.

to  ttiisliarhoul-  from  tlio  eastward,  you  leave  all  Uainiscoyc  island j  on  you;-  lar-

abuut,  not  to  stand  too  near  the  stniboard  hand,  whicli  lies  near  DsimoriscoUi 
riviT.  Wheu  you  pass  Fi^hermnn's  island,  you  continue  your  couwc  W.  N. 
\V.  for  the  niifldle  of  Squirrel  island,  which  you  will  make  right  a-liead,  ns  lliere 
are  several  Icdfjes  of  Muikcn  rock  on  your  ittarboard  hand.  When  you  pass 
Datnoriscotti  river,  you  may  fio  within  a  quarter  of  a  mile  of  Sqnirrc'  islands, 
but  with  a  fair  wind  give  it  a  birth  of  half  a  milt>,  an<l  then  steer  N.  \V.  for  llie 
b.trboiir,  and  follow  the  directions  you'havc  for  going  into  Uie  harb^mr  of/fowns. 
fnd,  where  you  may  lie  safe  from  all  winds. 

Directions  for  Kcnnebcck  and  ^heepscut  ^\vers. 

IF  you  come  from  the  westward,  bring;  Cape  Elizabeth  (on  which  is  a  pyra- 
mid, as  fully  described  in  page  120)  to  boar  west,  and  steer  eai>t  for  Scguiue  ibU 
and,  10  Iea;»tic8.  If  you  arc  bound  ioto  Kennebcck  river,*  you  must  steer  E. 
I  N.  and  leave  Beguine  island  on  your  starlward  hand  giving  it  a  birth  of  about 
lialf  a  mile,  and  as  soon  as  you  bring  said  island  to  bear  south,  you  steer  due 
Qorlh,  which  course  will  carry  you  into  Keiinebeck  river.  You  must  have 
regard  to  the  tide,  for  the  tide  of  ebb  sets  out  very  strong  due  south,  right  on 
Scgninc  island,  therefore  if  you  have  not  a  good  breeze  of  wind  you  cannot  sienj 
thejtidc,  as  it  sets  4  or  5  knots  an  hour.  When  you  come  into  the  entrance  ul° 
Kcnncbeck  river,  your  course  is  N.  W.  to  the  Sugar  .jves,  a  quarter  of  a  mile 
distant.  Leave  tjie  Sugar  loaves  on  your  starboard  hand,  from  which  your 
course  isN.  X.  W.  about  2  miles  to  Cock's  bead  ;  this  Cock's  hea<l  is  a  very 
high  blulTof  rocks,  which  you  leave  on  your  larboard  hand  ;  but  be  careful  of 
a  shoal  Hat  that  lies  on  your  larboard  hand,  before  you  come  to  Cock's  head. 
Keep  nearest  to  the  starlmard  shore.  In  case  the  wind  and  tide  should  be 
against  you,  you  may  anchor  to  the  southward  of  ferkin's  island  which  lies  on 
the  starbiiardhand,  where  yoti  may  lie  safe  after  bringing  the  Island  to  bear  north 
of  you ;  but  with  a  fair  wind  and  tide,  you  may  proceed  to  Parker's  flats,  which 
lie  a  little  above  Cock's  head.  This  river  is  not  to  be  attempted  above  Tar- 
ker's  Hats,  on  accoiuit  of  the  strensth  of  the  tide  and  crookedness  of  the  channel, 
unless  you  are  well  acquainted,  or  liave  a  pilot. 

If  you  are  bound  to  Sheep<cut  river,  from  the  westward,  and  make  the  island 
of  Seguine,  you  may  leave  the  island  on  your  starboard  hand,  give  it  a  birth  of 
half  a  mile,  when  you  pass  it  to  the  eastward  you  must  bring  it  to  bear  S.  W.  by 
S.  and  steer  N.  K.  by  N.  which  course  will  carry  you  to  Ebenicook  harbour, 
distant  3  leagues,  Icavinn^  3  dry  ledges  on  your  starboard  hand,  and  one  (^n 
wour  larboard ;  tbis  harbour  is  veiy  narrow  at  the  entrance,  but  makes  a  large 
biisoji  when  you  get  into  it ;  in  the  entrance  it  lies  E.  N.  E.  You  cannot  get  in 
here  with  a  N.  E.  or  easterly  wind,  but  must  have  the  wind  south  or  westerly  : 
after  you  get  into  this  harbour  you  must  haul  up  N.  E.  or  K.  E.  by  N.  for  there 
are  several  sunken  rocks  on  the  starboard  hatid  as  you  go  in,  which  you  are  to 
avoid.  The  best  anchorage  Is  against  Capt.  Smith's  wharf,  where  are  4  fathoms 
mucldy  bottom  ;  and  you  will  lie  safe  from  all  winds.  But  if  you  are  bound  up 
Shecpscut  river  in  a  large  vessel,  and  come  from  the  westward,  you  must  go  to 
the  southward  of  Seguine  island,  steering  about  N.  E.or  N.  E.  by.  E.  1  league, 
and  wheu  the  river  bears  north,  or  north  a  little  westerly,  you  may  run  north, 
and  must  keep  the  starboard  hand  best  on  board  ;  there  are  many  rocks  ancl 
ledges,  some  of  them  above,  and  som^  under  water,  which  are  all  to  the  eastward 
of  Seguine.  When  you  get  up  as  high  as  Ebenicook  }  ou  scave  the  two  Mark 
islands  on  your  larboard  hanil,  keeping  )  our  course  north,  a  little  easterly,  but  if

you  only  come  here  to  make  a  hailwur,  when  you  !;ct  up  to  Capt.  Hodgmn^s  you 
will  see  a  bare  lerlge  on  your  larboard  hand,  if  it  is  low  water,  which  is  covered 
ttt  iiigh  water;  you  may  anchor  in  8  fathoms  to  the  northward  of  it. 

If  you  want  to  go  Up  to  Wiscassel  point,  you  must  keep  your  starboard  hand 
best  aboard,  north  easttrly,  till  you  lonie  to  Cross  river,  which  yon  U;ave  00 
your  starboard  hand.  You  will  not  atlemjit  to  go  up  to  Wiscasset  point  with 
&  head  wind  au«i  tide  of  ebb,  for  it  <8  3  leagues  from  Cross  river;  but  when  you 
have  a  fair  wind  and  tide,  yuu  may  proceed  without  fear.  This  river  is  nai'row 
and  lies  more  to  the  westward  ;  when  you  are  alwut  a  mile  or  a  mile  and  a  half 
tip,  you  tnnst  keep  yoUr  larboard  hand  best  ou  board,  for  there  is  n  ledge  of 
rocks  which  reaches  near  half  way  across  the  riVer,  which  is  on  your  starboard 
hand,  and  the  rock  near  the  mid<Ue  is  covered  at  high  water,  but  may  be  secu 
two  hours  before.  The  liver  runs  Ktraight  to  Decker's  narrows,  then  turns  round 
to  the  westward ;  when  you  enter  these  narrows  you  may  see  the  town.  lu  case 
you  should  go  up  in  the  night,  you  must  be  careful  of  2  large  rocks  tiiat  lie  \V. 
S.  W.  of  tiiese  narrows;  the  tide  of  flood  sets  very  strong  for  them,  and  they 
arc  never  covered:  y6u  may  go  on  either  side  of  them,  and  may  anchor  in  10  or 
12  fathoms  of  water,  muddy  bottom. 

It  is  high  water  here,  at  full  and  change  of  the  moon,  about  three  quarters  of 
an  hour  sooner  than  at  Boston. 

Directions /or  sailing  into  New  Meadows. 

THIS  river  bears  N.  E.  8  leagues  distant  from  the  Pyramid  on  Cape  Eliza- 
beth, and  about  1  league  from  Small  point.  If  you  should  fall  into  this  bay 
with  the  wind  at  S.  E.  or  S.  S.  E.  and  boiuid  to  the  eastward,  you  may  make  a 
good  harbour  in  the  above  river.  In  standing  to  the  northward  yon  will  have  a 
iiirge  round  island  ou  your  starboani  hand,  covered  with  spruce  trees,  together 
with  two  large  rocks,  one  called  the  Brown  Cow,  and  the  other  the  Wliite  Bull, 
which  are  some  distance  from  each  other.  You  must  leave  the  Brown  Cow  ou 
your  starboard,  and  the  White  Bull  on  your  larboard  hand,  the  latter  of  which 
you  may  go  within  a  cable's  length  of,  aud  when  you  have  passed  it,  must  stand 
over  lor  Horse  island,  that  lies  on  the  starboard,  which  has  a  house  on  it,  that 
you  may  go  within  a  quarter  of  a  mile  of.  To  the  westward  of  the  island  lies  u 
iars^  rock,  which  is  covered  at  high  water,  but  bare  at  half  tide;  you  may  go  ou 
(Itiier  side  of  it  when  it  is  in  sight,  but  the  widest  psssnge  is  to  ilie  eastward. 
When  you  have  passed  this  rock,  steer  N.  by  W.  or  N.  N.  W.  which  course 
will  carry  yon  up  with  a  large  island,  called  ^eir  island,  which  is  covered  with 
spruce  and  birch  trees.  When  you  have  pn  sed  this  island  about  one  quarter  of 
a  mile,  you  may  haul  in  for  the  starboard  ^hore,  and  anchor  in  5  or  6  fathoms 
water.  This  is  the  best  place  to  anchor,  wiih  the  wind  at  S.  S.  E.  or  East,  but 
be  Careful  of  a  ledge  of  rocks,  that  runs  to  the  northward  of  this  island,  about 
half  a  mile  off.  You  may  anchor  in  this  bay  according  as  the  wind  may  be;  if 
it  should  be  at  the  westward,  you  may  anchor  on  the  west  side  of  the  bay ;  and 
if  to  the  eastward,  anchor  on  the  east  sitle.  If  you  have  lost  your  cables  and 
anchors,  there  is  a  large  cove  on  the  starboard  hand,  about  2  miles  from  Bear 
island,  bearing  about  N.  which  is  suflicient  to  hold  30  or  40  sail  of  vessels.  It 
is  land-locked  all  round,  so  that  no  wind  can  damage  a  vessel  after  she  gets 
into  it. 


Directions  for  Hussey's  Sound.  '' 

IF  you  come  from  the  eastward  and  make  Seguine  island,  bring  it  to  bear  E. 
and  steer  W.  for  Hussey's  sound,  if  you  have  a  fair  wind  and  day  light,  as  you 
have  nothing  but  islaiuls  on  your  starboard  hand.  The  tide  of  flood  sets  v^ry 
strong  ill  between  these  islands ;  when  you  get  within  2  miles  of  Hussey's  sound,

make  A"amenticu8  Hill,  bearing  >.  VV.  by  N.  you  are  then  to  the  westward  of

house. You  may  we  them  in  clear  weallicr,  wheu  no  other  part  of  hi'  la.ul  is  in 
eight.  At  the  first  sight  they  .appear  like  a  cloud,  and  are  always  vhltr,  occasion- 
ed it  is  said,  by  their  being  covered  »vith  while  moss.  They  have  bt(  n  seen  when

l'or|K)itc.  In  luunins  for  ihi'  !i};lit.  bring  ii  to  bear  N.  N.  W.  or  N.  W.  and  rua 
till  within  a  rabj. '«  h  iipili  « ith  hiIcIj  .  V  ou  mnj  go  into  thiM  iiarbour  eitjicr  at 
(he  lasiwaid  ni^  westwanl  of  ihf  inland.  There  are  xeveral  rockH  to  llie  we»l- 
ivard  of  Ihc  i>land,  and  iike^ifc  a  lonjj  bar  wliirh  lifh  to  the  S.  VV.  about  one 
ijuitrler  of  a  luilc  dislant.  When  >ou  have  the  wind  to  the  iwitliword,  you 
ina)  lay  yonr  courKe  in.  and  anchor  nc.ir  Staa;c  inland;  this  Ih  called  Winter 
Ir.uliom.  Yon  m  ly  go  in  the  eastern  way,  and  have  room  to  turn  your  vcHsel, 
(which  in  an  advantage  you  cannot  have  in  going  in  to  the  westward)  but  here 
you  arc  exposed  to  the  wind  at  N.  E.  and  E.  N.  E  but  if  your  cables  and  an- 
chiirn  are  not  good,  you  may  run  into  the  Pool,  and  lie  s^fe  from  all  winds. 

S.ico  lies  about  a  league  to  the  north  >■  est,  but  in  a  barred  place,  aud  hna  not 
above  10  It  ct.  at  hi{.'h  wuU  r,  which  makes  it  not  fit  for  a  ittranger  to  go  in  ;  there 
L),  however,  coui'iderablc  navigation  owned  here,  aiu)  the  inhabitautH  are  enter* 
pri/.ing. 

The  next  place  to  Wood  Island  is  Richmond's  is!  uid,  which  Hes  about  N.  E. 
J^^oriheily,  4  leagues ;  this  pltce  is  only  fit  for  small  vessels, such  a» coasters— 
but  few  vessels  put  in  here,  it  being  only  I  league  to  the  westward  of  Portland, 
which  is  at  present  one  of  the  principal  ports  In  the  eastern  country. 

In  sailing  by  Uichnr>nd's  i-land  you  ninst  bo  careful  of  a  sunken  ledge  caMed 
Watrh  ledge,  that  lies  off  about  S.  E.  near  half  a  mile  from  the  N.  E.  end  of  the 
Island  ;  it  does  not  show  itself,  except  the  wind  blows  fresh  ;  but  you  need  not 
go  BO  near  the  island  utiU^s  you  have  a  scant  wind,  or  turning  to  windward.        * 

Lirectwns  to  sail  from  Cape  Neddock  to  Cape  Porpoise.  . 
Yt3UIl  course  from  C;ipi' Neddock  to  Cape  Porpoise  is  N.  E.  distant  4| 
l<iagues.  Cape  Porpoise  is  a  bad  harbour,  and  not  to  be  attempted  unless  you 
are  well  ac(|Uiiinte(l,  or  in  distress.  In  going  iu,  you  must  leave  2  small  islands 
on  your  larboarl  hand,  and  A  on  your  starboard.  It  may  be  known  by  the  high

If.  w  hen  comiiii;  from  Bea,  you  make  the  Isles  of  Shoals,  and  are  to  the  east- 
w:ud  of  them,  jou  muht  run  for  tlutfi  till  within  one  mile  of  the  Eeslern  I^le, 
then  ^t<er  W.  N.  W.  until  Portsmouth  liglit-house  bears  N.then  follow  your  di-

If  -.  oil  come  to  the  westward  of  ilie  Isb'K  of  Shoals,  gne  it  a  food  birth,  and 
Bt.er  N.  \  W.  which  course  will  cairy  ymi  up  with  the  lijilil,  as  above  directed. 
If  JOU  ha^e  a  head  wind,  and  obliged  lo  beat  into  the  harbour,  you  must  ob- 
Berve  there  is  a  sunken  rock,  at  thee  ist  side  of  the  entrance,  called  Kilt's  rock, 
which  hiis  a  buoy  on  it,  and  S.  by  W.  oiii  quarter  of  a  mdc  from  the  liBht-lioiise, 
lies  a  stinkcii  rock,  called  Siilhnan's  rork,  which  also  "has  a  buoy  on  it.  Give 
the  buoys  a  };ood  birth,  and  there  is  no  dungcr. 

Whtu  you  come  IVom  the  S.  W.  and  make  Cape  Ann,  and  to  the  eastward 
of  the  Dry  Salvages,  bring  thnn  to  lear  S.  by  E.  and  steer  N.  by  W.  or  N.  {• 
AV.  Ill  steering  Ihiscnurse  you  will  make  the  lihs  of  Shoals,^  from  which  you 
may  take  a  new  dep.irture — l.ring  Star  island  to  hear  S.  S  E.  and  run  N.  N. 
W.  but  if  the  winduhould  come  to  the  northward,  and  you  are  obljsed  to  turn 
into  said  port  you  inusi.  stand  to  the  westward  no  farther  than  to  bring  the  light 
lo  liearN.  till  yon  get  within  Odiorne's  point,  and  ^vheii  standing  to  the  easi- 
vaid,  lo  go  aljoul  as  soon  as  the  light  house  bears  N.  N.  W.  until  you  get 
within  Wood  Islaqd.  lie  careful  of  Oilionie's  point,  coming  from  the  south- 
westward,  for  it  lies  off  more  than  hdf  a  m'ie,  with  sunken  rocks,  which  ''•>  not 
show  them  elves  when  the  wind  is  off  the  land;  like^'is-'  in  standing  to  t  e  east, 
you  must  be  ca-sful  of  the  Whale's  back,  which  lies  S.  S.  W.  of  Woo*  island, 
and  is  covered  at  hall  tide.  If  )ou  are  bound  to  the  eastward  from  tli:,  :'•••♦ 
you  steer  S.  by  E.  one  league  from  the  light-house,  then  steer  N.  N.  K.  Itv 
Old  York  «r  Cape  Neddock,  which  is  4  leHgues  from  Portsmouth  ;  but  if  the 
■wind  shouhl  come  from  the  northward  you  must  be  careful  of  York  ledge,  which 
bears  from  Swell's  point  S.  E.  distant  2  leagues.  There  is  a  sunken  ledge  tliat 
lies  S.  \V.  one  mile  from  York  ledge— it  is  never  bare,  but  always  breaks  at 
low  water,  and  is  called  the  Triau^^le.     Some  part  of  York  ledge   is  bare  at 

half  tide.  ,    ■    .  u-  i  i-    c 

The  next  you  come  to  is  Boon  i-land  (on  which  is  a  light-house,  whv  h  liest?. 
E  i  ^.  from  Cape  Neddock,  m-  the  Nubble,  so  calle<l.)  When  you  pass  Boon  n  I- 
an  .  bound  to  the  cigtwaid,  and  take  the  wind  at  N.  N.  E.  you  must  take  care 
ol  ;a  I  d.eof  rocks  due  N.  from  Boon  island,  one  mile  distant. 

[  \.  n.  I  have  passed  this  place  several  times,  but  never  diy covered  the 
ledjre  till  the  year  1783,  «'hen  being  bound  lo  the  eastward,  the  wind  look  mc: 
from  the  we-tward.  but  the  vessel  having  no  more  than  steci-age  way,  I  luve 
over  a  line  to  catch  a  fish,  and  lou  id  I  had  2 1  fathoms  water,  sandy  bottom,  and 
in  a  lew  minutes  I  had  but  10  feet  of  water,  and  my  vessel  drawing  9  ;  all  that 
saved  me  from  strik'ng  was,  that  the  water  bt'ipg  entirely  smooth,  the  cu.rent 
set  fue  to  the  ea«tw"nd.  and  1  got  into  24  fathoms  within  the  length  of  the  vessel 
from  where  I  sounded,  and  had  but  10  feet.] 

The  woi^t  ledirethat  I  know  on  the  eastern  shore,  is  Boon  island  ledge,  Avhich 
bears  east  from  Bonn  island,  distant  1  league ;  and  from  Agameoticus  hill,  it 
benrs  S.  E.  5  or  C  leagues.  It  is  not  safe  for  strangers  to  go  very  near  this 
ledgf ,  for  several  of  the  rocks  are  to  be  seen,  long  before  low  water. 

When  you  come  in  from  sea,  and  make  Agameiilicus  hill,  bearing  N.  W.  by 
N.  you  lire  then  to  the  westward  of  Bopn  island  Ie«lge  ;  but  v.  hen  the  said  hill 
bears  N.  W.  by  W.  you  may  be  sure  you  are  to  the  eastward  of  it— [See

Description  of  the  Ibles  of  Shoals. 


BY  thK  Benevolence  i»f  the  Massachusetts  Missionary  Society  aided  by  sub- 
sicn|Uioii8  of  several  gentlemen  in  Newburyport,  and  the  neifjIilMMirliig  towns,  a 
Meeting-house  has  b«en  erected  on  Star  isl.<iid  i^oiie  of  the  above  islands)  which, 
Irorn  its  siiuation,  caiiuut  fail  of  btiug  advantageous,  as  a  landmark  to  mari-

The  following  is  the  description  and  relative  situation  of  the  it-lands  : 

Wiiite  island  (the  south-westernmost  island)  it-  a  rocky  island,  three  quarters 
of  a  mile  in  length,  from  S.  E.  to  N.  W-  and  about  one  mile  and  tl'.rce  quiuters 
d'stanlfrom  the  Meeting-house.  'J  here  is  a  reef  that  extends  about  one  third 
of  a  mile  horn  the  N.  W.  end.  whit.'  in  passing  you  must  give  a  good  biilh.

Londoner's  (or  Lounging  island)  lies  about  1^  mile  to  the  northward  of  White 
island,  is  about  |  h»  of  a  mile  in  lent^th  from  S.  (o  N.  aid  h  high  at  each  end; 
ill  high  tides  the  middle  is  sometimes  covered  ;  a  number  of  rocks  lie  close  about 
the  it^iand,  in  aimos-l  ever>  direction,  some  of  which  are  alwaj  s  bare.  The  south 
end  bears  W.  from  the  Meeting  house  ;  the  north  end  W.  N.  W.  j  W.  about 
half  a  mile  distant.  Abuut  halfway  between  this  ie^land  and  Star  it^l  nd,  lies 
a  io(k  «ihich  is  bare  at  low  water;  il  bears  from  the  Meeting-house  N.  \V.  by 
^l\ .  {  W.  one'hiid  of  a  niiledit.taut. 

*^tar  inland  (where  the  Moelinghouse  stands)  is  about  three  fourths  of  a  mile 
in  length  from  S.  E.  to  N.  VV.  and  about  half  a  mile  in  breadth;  it  is  covered 
Avllh  buddings  on  (lie  north  side.  ThcMeeting-hou>e  stands  oh  an  eminence  a 
'ittle  to  tlie  northward  of  the  middle  of  the  island:  is  12  feet  high  from  the  foun< 
dation  to  tiie  roof;  to  the  top  of  the  steeple  is  30  feet  more;  the  whole  height 
from  the  snrfac<^  of  (lie  water  is  about  65  feet;  it  is  painted  white,  and  the  stee- 
ple is  pl.tced  in  the  niidrlie  of  the  building;  it  stands  fronting  the  west,  and  may 
be  seen  at  the  disiance  of  8  or  0  leagues,  in  almost  any  direction  at  sea :  it  bears 
from  Thatclur's  island  lights  (Cape  Ann)  N.  ^E.  &i  leagues  distant ;  from  Pi- 
geon hill  N.  bj  E.  t'>l  leagues  <li.  tant;  from  iVewburyport  light-houses  N.  E.

league  E.  from  Boon  island)  S.  VV.  by  VV  A^  leagues  distant.  Offlhe  south  end 
of  this  i.slaud  about  three  quarters  of  a  mite  from  shore,  lies  Aiulerson's  rock, 
which  is  bare  at  half  tide;  in  passing,  give  it  a  good  birth;  it  lies  from  the 
Meeting-house  S.  S.  E. 

Cedar  island  is  small,  and  about  one  third  of  a  mile  in  leugth,  from  E.  to  VV. 
situated  betrteen  Star  and  Smutty-nosr  islands.  There  is  a  channel  between  it 
and  Smutty-nose  island  ;  but  it  is  crooked,  and  not  fit  to  be  attempted  by  siran. 
gevs.  The  east  end  bears  from  the  Meeting-lioiisc  E.  \N.  and  the  west  end  E.

About  2.'i00  paces,  or  11  mile  south  from  thi^  house  oni!  (he  liglits,  on  the  oisiile  of  tlie  isl- 

aml,  is  the  first  hut,  to  wliicli  the  mariner,  in  «lny-liii,ht,  may  be  directed  by  a  beacon,  about 

500  paces  to  the  K.  witli  a  li.in.l  poiuling  to  tlie  hut.  ,       .    ,      . 

£900  paces,  or  about  1 J  mile  soulli  from  tJiis,  is  tlie  recond  hut,  with  a  similar  beacon  alinut 

400  paces  S.  K.  pointing  to  it.  .     ,      .  ,      .  i       •      i,^  r,-«

paces  distant.  .   ,  ,      ,,,..,,  ,  ,     ., 

5000  paces,  or  about  .^  miles  S.  of  this,  is  a  house,  occupied  by  Mr.  (•p.ller  and  f.midy. 
Which  is  about  1  mile  from  tile  S.  eiiil  of  the  island,  and  about  W.  1  mile  fr^m  the  h.  cud  .jt 
the  island,  are  two  other  houses,  with  families. 

These  huts,  together  with  the  other  houses  inenlioned,  form  a  chain  from  one  extremity  of 
the  island  to  llie  other.  'I'lie  unfortunate  mariner,  whose  f.ite  any  wreck  him  on  tins  slioi-e, 
can,  by  noticing  the  point  of  compass  from  wliith  the  wind  blows  at  thu  time  ol  his  biiii.^ 
wrecked,  be  governed  in  his  course  across  the  island,  where  he  will  find  himself  nailer  <!irt 
iee  of  the  higher  land,  and  protected  in  some  measure  from  llie  violence  of  the  tcuipest.  Vay 
keeping  alon;;  the  margin  of  the  island,  whei-fithi^  travelling  is  good,  and  before  coming 
quite  to  the  maish,  either  N.  or  S.  he  will  be  witain  of  imeling  with  one  ol  li.eso  liiits  or 
bouses,  where  he  may  find  temporary  relief.  To  facilitate  still  further,  the  means  of  C()nvev- 
ing  immediate  assistance  to  those  unfortunate  mariners  who  may  be  wi'ecked  <m  this  island, 
a  number  of  gentlemen  were  incorporated  for  the  purpose,  and  have  complele.l  a  bridge  and 
turnpike  road  from  Newburyport  to  I'liimb  island.  This  r.«d  leads  in  a  sonti-  easterly  dj- 
rection  from  Newburyport,  and  the  bridge  crosses  Plumb  island  nearaluait  J  mile  to  tbe  .S. 
W.  of  Seal  island.  An  elegant  Hotel  has  been  erected  at  the  east  end  of  the  l>ri.lge,  willim 
100  rods  of  the  sea  shore,  1  mile  south  from  the  lights,  and  about  itlis  of  a  mile  northerly 
from  the  northernmost  house  erected  by  the  Merrimack  Hmii;ine  Society  before  meiilioiied. 
The  Hotel  is  painted  white,  has  three  white  chimneys,  and  may  serve  as  a  land  raaik  lor 

seamen.  ,  ., .   .  ,      ,         ,  ., 

If  a  vessel,  by  stress  of  weather,  should  be  obliged  to  run  ashore  on  this  island,  and  ttie 
master  can  make  any  choice  of  place,  it  is  most  eligitde  to  run  on  ,bs  nearly  opposite  tliw 
house  as  possible,  as  assistance  and  shelter  can  be  more  promptly  afforded,  and  the  commu- 
nication more  direct  with  Newburyport. 

It  rarely  happens  llmt  any  life  is  lost  on  this  beach,  in  attempting  to  escape  from  the 
wreck,  when  the  crew  remain  on  board  until  low  tide,  l.aless  the  vessel  is  .n  imminent 
danger  of  going  to  pieces  immediately,  the  seamen  sliould  never  take  ^o  their  boat. 

»  A  vessel  iiiat  draws  10  feet  water  may  come  in  at  two  thirds  flootl.  They  sl-ould  abynys 
observe  to  keep  to  the  windward  of  the  bar,  unless  the  wind  should  be  fair,  if  the  sea  is  so 
great  as  to  prevent  the  pilot's  getting  over,  a  tigiml  will  be  made  by  him,  when  you  must 
run  direct  for  his  boat,  keeping  the  lights  in  range,  which  will  carry  you  safe  over. 

t  In  a  course  nearly  N.  from  the  light-houses  on  Plumb  island,  and  about  half  a  mile  dis* 
tant,  across  tlie  mouth  of  Merrimack  river,  is  the  southern  extremity  of  Salisbury  beach, 
called  Salisbury  point.  From  this  poiut  a  sand  beach  extends  on  the  verge  of  the  ocean, 
without  an  inlet  or  interruption  of  any  consequence,  until  it  reaches  Hampton  river.  This 
beach  is  connected  with  tbe  main  land  by  a  salt  marsh  of  considerable  extent,  intersected  by 
a  variety  of  small  rivuleU  and  creeks,  which  render  it  impossible  for  a  ship-wrecked  mariner 
to  rewh  the  iohabited  parti  of  Sottsliury.— >lere  to»  tiie  bi4<Iess  seamen  it  sometimw  destined

Directions  for  Annis  Squam    Harbour  in  Ipswich  Bay. 

THlL  mastereof  vessels  out  of  Newbury  port  Bliould  generally  be  acqualuted 
with  the  harbour  of  Squam;  and  for  their  benefit  a  plan  of  the  harbour  has  been 
talten  from  actual  survey,  which  will  be  of  the  Rieatest  in,  .ortance  when  obliRec 
to  make  a  harbour  from  Ipuwich  bay,  tlirough  atress  of  weather.  When  a  vesaei 
at  anchor  oflf  Newbury  port  bar,  parts  a  cable  and  looses  an  anchor,  with  lne^'"« 
lit  N.  E.  or  K.  N.  E.  if  she  can  carry  double  reele«l  sails,  she  may  run  S.  &.  i^. 
i  leaeuea,  which  course,  if  made  goo<l,  will  carry  her  a  little  to  the  eastward  ol 
Squam  bar;  audif  the  weather  is  so  clear  as  to  see  half  a  mile  when  you  make 
tlie  land  to  the  eastward  of  Squam,  you  may  run  within  a  Cable's  length  ot  lue 
shore;  your  course  is  S.  S.  W.  .     xr

you  must  be  careful  of  Phimb  cove  ledse,  which  shews  itaelf  till  near  high  water, 
and  bears  from  *  Squam  light  N.  N.  K.  a  little  n  >rtlierly,  distance  five-eighths  of 
a  mile.  When  you  have  passed  this  ledge,  you  leave  a  deep  cove,  called  liodg- 
kin's  cove,  and  a  long  point  or  neck  of  land,  called  Davis'  neck,  on  your  larboard 
hand.    When  up  with  this  neck  haul  S.  W.  or  9.  VV.  by  W.  for  Squam  bar. 

In  galling  into  this  harbour  bring  tlie  light  to  bear  due  S.  when  at  the  distance 
of  one  mile,  and  run  directly  for  it,  leaving  Haradan's  rock  (which  lies  N.  by  E.

Maud  lies  a  rock  called  the  Centurion,  in  mid-chdnnol,  with  15  feet  water  on  it. 
Your  course  from  this  to  Gallop's  island  point,  is  N.  W.  by  N.  half  h  .nile  dis* 
tant.  From  thence  through  the  N'arrows  by  Nick'^  mate,  your  course  h  N.  N. 
W.  half  a  mile  distant.  NickV  mate  has  a  monument  on  it  and  niu.^t  be  left  on 
your  larboard  haad,  I  cable's  length  diKtaut,  and  then  steer  W.by  N  for  Cas-'

tle rOcks  in  2  fatltoms,  which  you  leave  on  your  larboard  hand.  When  abreast 
of  the  Castle,  steer  N.  N.  W.  one  quarter  of  a  mile,  to  clear  the  upper  middle 
ground,  which  has  a  black  buoy  on  it  in  2  fathoms  water,  that  you  leave  on  your 
larboard  hand ;  if  the  buoy  should  be  removed,  run  N.  N.  W.  till  you  bring  the 
i  northernmost  steeples  in  Boston  a  handspike's  length  open,  then  steer  N.  W. 
by  W.  2i  miles,  which  will  carry  you  opposite  the  town. 

Broad  sound,  which  is  the  north  entrance  of  Huston  harbour,  is  riot  a  proper 
channel  for  large  vessels,  but  those  who  frequent  it  wi'l  follow  the  directions  here 
given :  When  up  with  the  Graves,  which  are  a  parcel  of  dry  rocks  that  appear 
white,  you  inust  leave  them  on  your  larboard  hand,  1  cable's  length  distHUt,  then 
bring  llierotobear  S.  E.  and  run  S.  W.  by  W.  4  miles,  when  you  will  be  up 
with  Lodk;  istaud  head,  which  is  hi^h  and  blufT,  with  2  rem^irkable  trees  or>  it, 
that  you  leave  on  your  larboard  hand.  In  passing  from  the  Graves  to  Long  isN 
and  head,  you  will  see  2  buoys  on  your  larboiu-d  hand,  one  of  vhich  is  on  n  reef 
called  the  Devil's  back,  is  paitited  red,  and  lies  in  4  fathoms  water ;  the  other  oa 
Hani  head  bar,  which  is  black,  an  I  lies  in  15  teet  water  ;  you  will  also  pass  a 
while  buoy  on  your  starboard  hand,  which  lies  on  the  N.  K.  point  of  Faun  bar, 
hi2i  fathoms,  when  you  must  follow  the  directions  above  for  the  town. 

The  Lower  middle-  ground  lying  in  the  way,  the  directions  are  as  follow,  viz. 

On  the  Lower  middle  ground,  which  lies  on  the  north  sido  of  the  channel,  h 
Kttle  above  Spectacle  island,  (which  is  in  part  dry  at  low  water.)  on  (he  eastern 
part  of  which  is  a  red  buoy,  and  on  the  western  part  a  black  buoy,  in  2  fathom* 
water,  which  you  must  leave  on  your  starboard  hand. 

Pudding  Point,  or  Shirley  ^ut  entrance,  is  between  Fniin  bar  and  VViosliip's 
bar.  You  must  bring  it  to  bear  S.  W.  and  run  for  it,  leaving  Shirley  point  on 
the  starboard  and  *Decr  island  on  the  larboard  hand.  The  channel  from  this 
gut  to  Boston  is  so  crooked  itnA  nnrrow,  that  no  person  should  attempt  to  go  in 
with  a  large  vessel,  uidess  acquainted,  without  a  pilot. 

Vessels  outward  bound,  from  Boston  light-hon^e,  who  would  wish  to  fall  ia 
with  Cape  Cod,  the  course  is  E.  S.  E.  distant  1 1  leagues,  thence  3  leagues  to 
the  light-iiouse.  When  up  with  the  light  house,  and  it  hears  S.  W.  2  leagues  dis- 
tant, you  may  then  steer  S.  S.  E.  which  will  carry  you  out  of  the  s^outh  channel. 

Vessels  in  Boston  bay,  who  would  wish  to  put  away  for  C'tpc  Cod  harbour, 
must  endeavour  to  fall  iu  with  the  Race.  If  in  the  idght,  and  you  cannot  see 
tlie  land,  you  must  bring  the  light  to  hear  E.  by  N.  and  run  for  it  until  you  h^we 
soundings  in  14  or  15  fathoms  water — then  steer  N.  E.  until  the  light  bears  E. 
by  S.  tlieo  run  in  N.  W.  for  the  harbour. 

When  between  Cape  Ann  and  Cape  Cod,  you  will  have  from  35  to  19  fathonw 
water,  wiiich  latter  sounding  is  wilhtu  2  leagues  of  Bos'on  light-house :  th'^  quali- 
ty of  the  soundings  is  more  to  be  depended  on  than  the  depth  of  the  water  As 
you  will  find  a  dilTercnce  of  5  or  6  fathoms  iu  running  a  cable's  length,  you  will

the  north  chop  of  (he  harbour,  the  first  clift  (so  called,)  makiuj  the  sottth  chop. 
There  are  four  of  these  clifts  extending  towards  the  noi'th  main  5  the  south- 
ernmost of  which  is  the  highest. 

From  the  bo<ly  of  the  Ijxht-housc,  the  northerly  part  of  Cedar  point  and  a 
ledge  called  Long  lt<lge,  «xtends  N.  N.  W.  nearly  one  mile;  so  that  vessels 
f  lliugin  a  little  niore  than  one  mile  northivprd  of  the  Ilgiit,  may  bring  the 
Hghl  to  bear  south;  and  if  they  make  good  their  course  north,  they  will  clear 
the  outtr  ledges  of  CohaKset  rocks;  half  a  mile  east  of  the  body  of  the  light 
Mill  clear  Cedar. point,  long  ledge,  and  the  first  clift  ledge.  [Note— there  are 
ledges  txlciidiiig  from  all  the  four  clifis,  but  i  one  between  them,  and  half  a 
mile  from  the  shore  will  clear  all  except  frorfi  Frigates  and  large  ves^sels.] 

From  the  body  of  the  light,  nmning  f^.  S.  E.  will  clear  Brauches  point  ; 
cousequently  giving  the  light  half  a  mile  birtii,  there  will  be  uo  danger  in  running

There  is  a  passage  within  Cohassct  rocks,  uSed  by  coasters,  which  is  foand  by- 
giving  the  light  half  a  mile  birth,  ami  running  N,  W.  by  N.  to  the  southerly  en-

There  is  a  meeting-house  about  two  miles  W.  by  N.  from  the  light ;  and  a 
farm  house  D*ar  the  northwest  sid;  of  the  harbour,  with  two  large  bains  a  little

feet  at  low  water,  at  which  time  all  the  soundings  were  taken.  When  you  havie 
isiiut  in  the  Sandy  hill  with  the  Guinct  head,  )ou  are  clenr  of  the  rock  ;  after 
which  you  must  mind  not  to  Inul  in  too  close  to  the  head,  as  there  are  many 
sunken  rocks  some  diiUance  from  the  shore.  When  you  Iiring  ^a({uasli  head  to 
hear  W.  by  N.  you  may  ijion  steer  up  VV.  by  S.  and  if  you  arc  bound  for  Ply- 
mouth, you  muMtkeep  that  course  fur  a  iargr  red  clifToo  the  main,  which  is  a 
very  good  mark  to  carry  you  clear  of  Dick's  Hat ;  then  you  must  steer  more 
southerly  for  Beach  poiiU,  or  riui  up  until  yoii  are  al>reast  of  Saqiusli  he'id,  giv- 
ing it  one  quarter  of  a  mile  distaeice  ;  then  steer  W.  by  8.  \  S.  which  will  clear 
you  of  Dick's  flat,  and  carry  you  tiirectly  for  Beach  point,  keeping  within  15  or 
20  yards  of  the  Sandy  point,  steering  away  for  the  southward,  keeping  that  dis- 
.tance  until.you  have  shut  in  the  lights,  where  you  niay  nnchor  in  3  and  4  fatltpms, 
but  the  channel  is  very  narrow,  liaviug  nothing  but  a  flat  all  the  way  to  Ply- 
moiilh,  c.\cept  this  small  cliunnci,  w  liich  rims  close  \)y  this  neck  of  land.f  yoti 
;^ill  have  4  and  .0  fathoms  close  to  this  point.  Ifyou  are  bound  into  the  Cow.« 
yard,  you  must  steer  as  belore  directed,  which  will  clear  you  of  Dick's  flat  and 
t\\e  Muscle  bank,  observing  to  keep  the  house  on  the  Gurnet  head  just  open  with 
Saquash  head,  until  you  have  o|(eucd  the  High  Pines  with  Clerk's  islands;  then 
you  are  clear  of  the  Muscle  bank,  when  you  may  sleer  N.  W«  until  you  have  3 
fathoms  at  low  water,  ;iot  running  into  less. 

In  coming  from  the  iiojthward,  bound  int6  Plymouth,  yoa  nuist  not  bring  the 
lights  more  soutlierly  than  S.  by  W.  to  avoid  High  I'ine  Ledge,  which  lies  north 
from  the  Gurnet  head,  about  2  :|t  or  3  milts.  When  yon  are  on  the  shoalestpaH 
of  this  ledge,  some  part  of  which  appears  at  low  ebbs,  you  will  have  the  High 
pines  in  range  with  Captain's  iiill,  which  will  then  be^jir  W.  by  S.  This  ledge  of 
rocks  lies  1 J  mile  from  the  sliore,  extending  aIjouI  N.  N.  E.  for  near  a  mile,  aud 
close  to  this  ledge  you  w!|l  have  4  and  5  fathoms,  which  deepens  gradually  ae 
you  run  from  it  to  the  eastward;  within  1  mile  you  will  have  10  and  12  futhoms. 

In  coming  from  the  soiithwanl,  bound  into  Plymouth,  you  must  not  open  the 
POrthern  light  to  the  westward,  but  keep  them  in  one,  which  will  carry  yoa  in  5 
fathoms  by  the  easternmost  part  of  Brown's  island)  or  shoal,  kee^ng  that  course 
until  you  are  uilliln  half  a  mile  of  Gurnet  head,  or  nigher,  where  you  will  have 
but  4  fathoms;  then  S  iquash  Iwiad  will  bear  VV.  by  N.  a  little  northej-Jy,  and  the 
2  outermost  trees  on  the  head  in  one ;  then  you  may  steer  directly  for  them,  until 
you  bring  the  light-house  to  bear  K.  N.  E.  and  the  house  on  Saquash  head  to  bear 
N.  W.just  open  with  the  fust  Sandy  beach,  where  you  may  arifchor  in  4  fathoms  in 
Saquash  road,  good  clear  bottom ;  but  if  you  are  bound  for  Plymouth,  or  the 
Cowyards,  you  must  steer  as  before  directed.  If  in  the  night,  it  is  best  to  anchor 
here,  as  it  is  diflicult  to  make  Beach  point,  if  dark,  orlo  go  into  the  Cowyard. 

In  turniiig  into  Plymouth,  you  must  not  stand  to  the  northward  into  less  tima

brought  into  one  tu  the  northward,  unless  you  are  on  the  fliorc.  But  to  tlie  suuthward  you 
way  bring  them  in  one,  which  is  a  very  good  niaric  to  clear  you  of  Brown's  island  or  San^

I'larrnw  wiiily  Valley  ;  beyond  whicfi  i?  nalied'sand,  reaching  to  the  iiiiis  and  tvoiids  of  Pro" 
vii)ceto\vii.  This  ridge  in  well  covered  with  bpach  grius,  uiid  appears  to  owe  Usexislepc^ 
to  tliat  vegetable. 

Be.icli  grui^ii,  during  tlie  spring  an<l  summer,  grows  about  two  feet  nnil  an  half.  If  iturr 
rounded  by  nutied  beach,  the  starnis  of  autiiinn  and  wiuter  heap  up  the  sand  on  all  sidef, 
and  cnufte  it  to  ri>e  iieMrly  to  liia  top  of  the  plHut.  In  the  ensuing  spring,  the  grass  sprouts 
(incw ;  is  aj^ain  covered  with  sand  in  the  winter,  and  thus  a  hill  or  ridge  coniiiiucs  to  ascend, 
us  long  Hs  there  is  n  sufficient  base  to  !<iipport  it,  Qr  till  the  circumscribing  sand,  being  hIsq 
covered  with  beach  grass,  will  no  longer  yield  to  the  force  of  the  windii. 

Un  this  ridge,  half  way  between  Race  Puint  and  the  he»d  of  Sioiil's  Creek,  the  Tnistee^ 
of  the  Humane  Society  have  erected  n  hut.  It  stands  a  mile  from  Peaked  Hilt,  n  jand-mitrk 
)vell  known  to  seamen,  and  is  aliout  2|  miles  from  Race  Point.  Seanien  cast  away  on  this 
uart  of  the  const,  will  find  a  shelter  hue ;  and  in  north-east  storms,  should  they  strike  to  thp 
leeward  of  it,  and  be  unable  to  turn  their  faces  to  the  windward,  by  pasbini;  on  to  Race 
Point,  they  will  soon  come  to  the  fishing  huts  before'inentioned. 

At  the  iiead  uf  Stout's  Creek  the  Trusleef  have  built  a  second  hut.  Stout's  Creek  is  s 
imuli  branch  of  East  Harbour  in  Truro.  Many  years  ago  there  was  a  body  of  Salt  Marsh 
on  it ;  and  it  then  deserved  the  name  of  a  creek.  But  the  mar»h  was  long  since  destroyed  t 
and  the  creek  now  scarcely  exists,  appem-ing  only  like  a  small  depression  in  the  sand,  being 
entirely  dry,  and  now  principally  covered  with  beach  grass.  The  creek  runs  from  aorth- 
west  to  south-east,  and  is  nearly-  parallel  with  tbq  shore  on  the  ocean,  from  which  it  is  at  do 

treat  distance.    Not  far  from  it  the  hills  of  Provincetown  terminate;  and  should  not  ths

Dhect'mis  for  those  running  for  Block  Island  Channel,  to  the

as  are  bound  into  the  Vineyard  Sound,  and  intend  going  over 
the  Shoals  to  the  eastward. 

IN  rpproaching  the  south  end  uf  Block  island  hovo  the  southward,  the  water 
slioiils  gradually.  ^Vtlen  the  island  bears  from  N.  W.  to  N.  by  VV.  the  bottotn 
is  iriiul ;  this  is  commonly  callc<l  IMqck  ii^iand  chaiuiel.  This  island,  if  you  come 
from  the  southuard,  appenis  round  and  high;  wA  if  you  approach  it  from  the 
S.  E.  it  appears  like  a  saddle,  beiiig  high  at  both  ends,  but  highest  to  the  south- 
ward.  "Xourccurso  from  Jilock  island  to  *Gay  head,  is  E.  N.  t^.  andtbedis'

If  ycu  fall  to  the  southward  pf  Martha's  Vineyard,  aud  can  see  f^'oman's-

island  to  bear  west,  an<!  steer  east,  (making  the  course  good)  w'hicli  will  carry 
}tm  clear  fiom  all  daiigcr,  and  bring  yoytip  with  Sancoty  head,  but  you  must 
not  run  direct  lor  Sancoty  head  till  it  bears  X.  N.  W.  li'  it  is  night,  you  may- 
see  Nantucket  light  wlien  Sanccity  head  bears  as  above,  also  bearing  N.  N.  W. 
'.riicreis  a  shoal  bearing  H.  by  E.  from  Saacoty  head,  \\  mile  distant,  which  has 
not  above  10  feet  H.itrr  on  it  at  high  water,  called  Pacliick,  which  joins  on  the 
Old  Man, between  which  and  the  shore  you  may  have  good  anchoring  with  the 
wind  at  \.  AV.  You  must  keep  your  coiusc  N.  N.  \V.  in  Uiis  clianncl,  till  you 
bring  Saucoty  head  to  bear  S.  VV.  w  hen  you  must  stser  N.  E.  for  the  Ship  chaa- 
nel.  You  may  tiun iii  or  out  of  <his  harbour,  only  observing  the  flood  and  ebb 
tides,  the  former  of  which  sets  N.  N.  VV.  aud  the  latter  S.  S.  E.  In  this  chan- 
:iel  }-QU  will  have  from  4  to  J  fathoms  water,  and  }  league  distant  from  Pachick 
reef  to  tiie  bass  rip. 

If  you  arc  coming  from  sea,  and  make  the  island  of  Nantucket  to  the  northr 
ward  of  you,  it  may  be  kaown  by  3  wind  mills,  which  stand  aear  each  other 
upon  811  emiitence.  You  may  then  steer  directly  fur  the  land,  until  y  ou  are 
w  ithin  iialf  a  mile  ;  and  may,  if  bound  to  the  eastivard,  run  along  the  shore  in  4, 
^,  and  6  fathoms  water,  to  the  S.  E.  pait  of  the  island,  where  there  are  shoals 
and  rips,  on  which  you  will  have  only  2\  or  3  fathoms  water.  Xontlnue  your 
course  along  the  shore,  until  you  bring  Sancoty  head  to  bear  S.  W.  from  you; 
then  steer  N.  E.  and  you  will  go  over  the  same  shoals  in  the  Ship  channel,  as 
ycu  do  in  steering  east  from  the  light-house.  Sancoty  head  is  the  easternmost  , 
b^ad  land  of  Nantucket.

scuthernmost  part  of  the  shoal  ^jround  on  Georf:e's  bank  lies  in  41"  38'  N,  lat. 
and  the  northern  limits  ol  the  Giil|)Ii  stream,  directly  south  frf)m  this  part  of  the 
shoal  ground,  extend?  to  latitude  30  <legrees,  you  slioultl  pats  the  shoal  ground 
between  these  two  latiiudes.  As  the  south  part  of  Nantucket  shoals  lies  in  lat. 
400  42'  and  the  Guiph  stream,  southward  from  this  part,  reaches  as  far  to  the 
uorthwani  as  lat,  38°  30'.  you  shon'rl  pass  Nantucket  shoals  between  these  lati- 
tudes. The  shoal  on  George's  bank,  (east  end)  lies  in  long.  68"  22',  and  the 
W.  end  in  long.  68"  54'  W.  and  the  south  shoal  of  Nanlurket  in  long.  60*^ 
56'  W. 

By  observing  the  forrgoing  direction!?,  and  keeping  between  the  Gulph  stream 
and  the  ^iioals,  you  will  shorten  jour  passage  to  New-York,  Delaware,  Virginia, 
Ol   other  western  ports ;  fo>-  you  will  have  the  advantage  of  the  eddy  current.

which  be;;rs  from  the  light,  N.  NV.  by  N.  \\  mile  distant.  As  nieai-uring  the 
distance  in  the  night  would  be  uucertaiii,  you  must  keep  your  lead  going,  and  if 
you  shouhl  have  7  or  8  fathoms  when  Ihe  light  bears  S.  K.  by  E.  orS  E.  haul 
up  north  till  you  have  10  or  12  falhoins  ;  then  with  flood,  steer  i\.  E.  and  with 
ebb,  N.  E.  by  E.  3  leagues;  then  E.  N.  E.  will  be  the  course  of  the  sound, 
which  will  carry  you  to  tlie  northward  of  the  middle  ground,  w  lien  j  ou  w  ill  fex

middle  of  the  river,  till  you  come  to  4  or  3  (iathoms,  uliere  you  may  anchor  on 
good  ground.  The  usual  mark  for  anchoring  is  the  west  chop,  bearing  from 
N.  N.  \V.  to  N.  W.  by  N.  but  if  you  lie  any  lime  here,  the  bt'St  anchoring  ip 
well  up  the  harbour,  and  close  to  the  shore,  mooring  S.  E.  and  N.  W.  in  6  or  /> 
fathoms  water.  In  this  harbour,  which  is  about  two  miles  deep,  yon  will  lie 
secure  from  all  winds,  except  a  northerly  one.  You  must  not  keep  further  than 
2  miles  from  (he  West  chop,  as  there  is  a  shoal  calletl  the  Hed<!;e  fence,  which 
lies  al)out  ^i  miles  northward  from  Holme's  hole,  and  extends  VV.  N.  \\.  and

In  coming  into  the  sound  in  the  night,  with  a  strong  uonh-westerly  wind,  haul 
to  the  northward  till  you  have  smooth  water  under  the  Elizabeth  islands,  where 
you  may  anchor  in  14  or  10  fathoms.  Should  you  have  the  wind  to  the  ^olll|l-

Description  if  G'^ov^e'sB^nk  and  Nantucket  Shoals.     ' '" 

THE  shoals  of  George's  Bank  lie  in  it.  41  "35'  N.  and  are  very  dangerous; 
in  some  [)laci»  haviag  wily  2  or  3  feet  w:>ttr  on  them,  surrounded  2  or  3  leagues 
by  rips  and  breakers,  which  are  very  dangerous,  irregular,  aod  a  rapid  tide, 
which  sets  southward  most  part  of  thejlime. 

On  that  part  of  Gcorire's  Bank  where  the  shoals  lie,  you  will  have  a  strong 
tide,  bat  not  regular.  The  most  powerful  and  rapid  pari*  of  it  run  southward ; 
<irst  to  the  S.  S.  E.  and  contiuuins;  its  coui-se  until  it  comes  up  S.  W.  when  it 
slacks  aitid  alters  its  course,  making  some  short  returns  to  the  N.  N.  E. — N.  E. 
and  E.  sometimes  for  the  space  of  12  and  la  hours. 

In  coming  from  the  southward  for  Gcoi-ge's  Bank,  you  will  get  soundings  in 
rat.  10°  1 T.  if  OH  the  S.  S.  W.  part  of  the  bank.    Should  you  get  soundings  in

ther  eant  you  will  have  hiack  mms ;  and  from  that  to  the  N.  K.  part  of  the  baak, 
rocky  bottom,  and  plenty  of  halihiit. 

If  you  stiike  soundin<:H  in  latitude  42"  30',  it  must  be  on  thcS  W.  part  of 
Bniwo'ii  bank,  where  you  will  have  from  30  to  4.5  fathoms,  sandy  bottom. 

On  your  lirst  entrance  on  Georiie't*  hank,  Irom  Block  ifiland  channel,  you  will 
have  oozy  bottom,  till  you  are  as  far  to  the  enstward  as  the  bank  extends. 

On  IheS.  W.  part  ol  George'fs  hank,  you  will  have  from  40  to  35  fathom!', 
sand  a.id  ooze.  From  lat.  40«*  30'.  to  lal.  41",  long.  07"  30',  you  will  have  from

Soundings  from  the  westward  of  George's  l)aiik  continues  its  course  W.  by  S. 
until  you  are  nearly  abreast  of  Louj;  i^lan<l,  then  southward  to  Cape  Hatteras. 

Rigiit  or  10  leaga(!s  S.  Ii.  from  the  south  p  trt  of  Oeoige's  bank  lie-<  tiie  Gulph 
Stream,  where  there  is  a  strong  R.  N.  E.  current,  and  if  you  are  bound  to  the. 
svestward,  ynu  had  better  go  very  near  the  bank,  and  often  on  soundings,  till  you 
are  abreast  of  the  south  shoal  of  Nantucket,  where  you  have  30  leagues  from 
bank  to  current,  and  by  doing  which  you  will  probably  shorten  your  passage. 

The  t^oulh  shosl  of  Nantucket  i»  almost  dry;  the  tide  nins  swift,  but  regular  to 
the  N.  E.  and  S.  W.  Xearly  to  the  southward  of  this  shoal,  in  25  or  30  fa- 
tiioms,  you  will  have  fine  Wack  and  white  sand;  to  the  eastward,  in  the  same 
soundii'gs  you  will  have  eoa^^e  sand.  When  you  are  near  the  Khoal,  you  will 
have  very  light  coloured  water,  together  with  white  and  black  sand  and  pieceii 
of  green  shells.  Nine  or  10  leagues  to  the  westward  of  the  above  shoal,  in  3(K 
or  40  fathoms,  yon  will  have  black  mud  of  ushlRing  smooth  nature,  when  you 
will  be  in  Tuckernuck  channel. 

To  the  westward  of  the  s<uith  shoal  of  Nantucket,  you  have  no  shoals,  rips, 
nor  tide  to  hurt  you,  until  you  come  near  the  land,  but  clear  sea,  good  naviga- 
tion, and  regular  sounding!).  Totiie  eastward  and  northward  of  the  south  shoal 
you  will  have  a  rapid  tide. 

Around  the  coast  of  Nantucket  and  the  shoals,  you  will  have  sandy  bottom, 
wid  in  moderate  weather,  had  better  anchor  than  be  driven  about  by  the  tide^ 
which  is  very  rapid.  The  courees  of  the  tides  at  and  over  Nan'ucket  shoals,  13 
nearly  N.  E.  and  S.  W.  and  regular.  The  N.  E.  tide  makes  flood.  S.  ".  E. 
uioou  makes  hi^rh  water.     Bouth  moon  makes  full  sea  at  Nantucket  haibour. 

S.  S.  E.  and  W.  N.  W.  moon  makes  high  water  on  the  shoals;  the  tide  of 
flood  gels  N  E.  hy  R.  and  ebb  S  W.  by  W.  from  2  to  3  knoU  an  hour.  It 
ebl.s  and  flows  nlisut  5  or  6  feet. 

When  you  come  in  from  sea  and  fall  into  Block  island  channel,  you  will  havft 
from  54  to  70  fathoms  soft  muddy  bottom.  You  will  have  soundings  in  the  lat. 
of  40°  N.  Id  standing  to  the  norfhwanl,  you  will  shoal  your  water  to  30  fa- 
thoms, and  when  in  sight  of  Block  island,  ynu  will  have  from  25  to  20  fathoms, 
san  ly  botlam.  When  Block  island  bears  N.  distant  4  or  5  leagues,  you  can- 
not see  any  land  to  the  northward  or  eastward;  but  as  you  approach  the  island,  ,

ter,  Point  Judith  Light  hearinj;  W.  or  W.  by  N.  the  course  to  Rliodc-I«!and 
harbour  is  N.  K.  by  N.  f  N.  aii:i  the  ciigtance  to  the  light-house  3  Icajrucs.  The 
light-house,  together  with  the  Dumplins,  niu^t  be  left  on  your  Inrhoard  hand ;  it 
ptniids  on  the  south  part  of  ^Coiianiiicut  island ;  this  point  is  called  the  Beaver's 
tail,  and  is  'about  3  leagues  distant  from  Point  Judith.  After  leaving  the  light- 
house on  your  larboard  siile,  there  is  a  sunken  rock  due  Soutii  from  the  lighl- 
housc,  iibout  200  yards  distant,  called  Newt»Mi  rock.  You  must  take  care  to 
avoid  the  rocks  whiih  lie  ulTt^outh  from  Castle  hill,  some  of  which  arc  above 
water.  Castle  hill  is  on  the  east  side  of  Rhode-Island  harbour.  If  you  steer 
N.  E.  from  the  light-house,  3  miles  distance,  you  will  have  good  anchoring  A»ith- 
out  Goat  island  (off  the  N.  E.  point  of  which  is  a  buoy  in  16  feet  water ;)  tlie 
bliore  is  hard  and  rocky.  A  little  wiihin  the  light-house,  and  near  to  the  shore 
oii  tiie  west  side  there  is  a  cove  called  Mackeral  cove,  the  entrance  to  which  is 
shoid  and  dangerous.  About  5  miles  within  the  light-house  there  is  an  island 
called  Goat  island,  o:i  which  the  fort  stands,  it  lies  before  the  town,  and  stretch- 
es about  N.  E.  and  S.  W.  After  you  pass  the  light-house,  bring  it  to  bear  S. 
W.  by  W.  and  steer  N.  K.  by  E.  3  miles,  which  will  carry  yo»  between  Brea- 
ton's  point  and  the  South  Dumplin,  back  of  Goat  island,  iu  good  anchorage 
and  is  the  only  course  which  will  carry  you  clear.  As  boXh  ends  of  these  islands 
are  pretty  bold,  you  may  pass  into  the  auchoriag  at  either  end,  and  ride  nearer 
to  Goat  island  side  than  to  that  of  Rhode-Island,  as  the  other  parts  of  the  har- 
hour  are  grassy,  and  would  be  apt  to  choak  your  anchors.  Rhode-Island  is 
navii;a)^le  all  round,  by  keeping  in  the  middle  of  the  channel. 

Narraganset  bay  lies  belwee-i  Conannicut  Island  and  the  main.  Your  course 
in,  is  about  north  taking  care  to  avoid  the  whale  rock :  you  may  pass  in  on  ei- 
ther vide,  and  anchor  where  you  jilease.  From  the  light-house  on  Conannicut 
island  to  Gay  head,  in  Martha's  Vineyard  island,  the  course  is  E.  8.  E.  and  the 
distaiice  1 2  leagues.  In  little  wii.  ;l  yon  must  take  care  that  the  flood  tide  does 
not  carry  you  into  Buzzard's  bay,  or  on  the  Sow  and  Pigs. 

Providence  is  situated  about  30  miles  N.  by  \V.  i  W.  from  Newport,  and  35 
miles  from  the  sea,  being  the  head  navigation  of  Narragajiset  bay.     Ships  that 
draw  from  15  to  1«  feet  water,  may  sail  up  and  down  the  channel,  which  is 
marked  out  l»y  stakes,  erected  at  points  of  shoals  and  beds  lying  iu  the  river.

liist  Oull  islund,  the  toirei'  is  W.  by  S.  10  teugucn  distrince,  leaving  Fisher'*  isl- 
and oil  your  slarboai'd  hand;  or  you  may  nui  till  yoti  bring  New-London  light- 
house to  hear  N.;  then,  if  ebb  tide  hiuI  infithtrly  winds,  steer  W.N.  W.   10 
ieajjues.  wliicli  (if  your  course  is  minle  good)  will  cany  you  up  with  *FaulUi»nd 
isiriids  light;  llien  steer  \V.  \>y  S.  till  yon  make  the  light  house  on  Eaton's  n«;k. 
In  case  of  a  flood  tide  and  a  southerly  wind,  wh^n  you  come  throiigh  the  Race, 
your  course  should  be  W  until  you  come  up  wilh  Enton's  neck,  lakiog  care  to 
make  prop»r  ;  Ilowancc  for  the  tide.     H  j  on  are  bound  into  Ncw-Loudon,  alter 
eettiiii:  to  the  northward  of  the  S.  W.  part  of  Fisher's  island,  keep  New-Loii.lou 
light  bearitig  from  N.  N.  W.  to  N.  N.  E.  if  you  are  buatiiig  to  witidward,  but  if 
the  nind  is  fair,  bring  the  liglit  to  bear  N.  when  at  the  distance  of  2  leagues,  and 
nil.  directly  for  it:  leave  it  im  voiir  larboaid  hand  in  running  in:  when  in,  ymn 
may  have  good  anrhoring  in  4  or  5  fiithoms  wati  r,  clayey  bottom.  In  coroiii>i  out 
of  New-London,  when  you  have  left  the  harbour,  bring  the  light  to  bear  N.N.  E. 
and  steer  dirertlj  S.  S.  W.  till  you  come  into  15  fathoms  water,  in  order  to  clear 
a  reef  that  lies  on  yourstarbotrd  h-.tnd,  when  the  N.  part  of  F'sher's  island  will 
benr  E.  distant  2  leagues.     If  a  !,}iit>  could  have  a  fair  departure  from  the  mid- 
dle of  the  U.'ce,  and  was  comprlied  to  run  in  a  dark  night,  or  thick  weather,  the 
best  course  would   be  we^t  to  Stratford  point,  and  would  afford  the  largest  run 
of  any  one  course.     If  bound  up  sound,  steer  VV.  by  S.  33  leagues,  whiejj  -.lill 
carry  yOu  up  with  Eaton's  neck,  (on  which  is  a  -fLight-hnnse.)     On  this  course 
yo«i  will  leave  Faulkland  ishindsoii  your  starboard  hand;  you  may  get  as  near 
I.,on2  island  shore  as  2  or  3  miles,  without  any  danger;  but  if  you  happen  to  get 
on  the  N.  shore,  take  pitrticulur  care  to  keep  at  the  distance  of  3  leagues,  ia  or- 
der to  avoid  the  reefs  and  shoal.-  that  lie  along  the  shore. 

About  7  league;'  K.  N.  E-  of  Eaton's  mrfc  light-house  lies  a^slioal, ormiddle 
ground,  called  Stratford  shoal,  on  which  tli«re  is  nut  2  feet  of  water,  at  low  wa- 
ter. You  may  steer  on  either  side  of  the  shoal  you  please;  on  the  N.  are  from 
3  lo  7  fatiioms;  on  the  S.  side  from  12  to  17  fathom    water. 

From  Enton's  neck  to  Loyd's  neck  the  course  Is  W.  -J  N.  5  miles.  Between 
Eaton's  neck  and  Loyd's  neck  lies  a  deep  bay,  called  Hunti;  ,^ton'8  bay,  where 
a  ship  of  any  size  may  ancltor  with  safe'y,  keeping  the  easttrn  shore  aboard. 
From  Loyd's  neck  to  Matineeock  |)eint  the  coiuse  is  W.  by  S.  distant  10  miles,

tinecock  point  to  .■'aiid's  point  light  is  W.  S.  W.  distant  2  leagues;  between  these 
2  poin's  is  a  bay,  called  Humstead's  bay,  in  which  is  excellent  anchoring,  keep- 
ins  the  eastern  shore  aboard.  T(.  the  noithward  of  Siuds*  point  Light,  distant

The  N.  K.  part  of  Gardner's  island  is  Sf  leagues  W.  N.W.  from  Montague 
point ;  with  westerly  winds  you  may  abchor  off*  this  part  of  the  island,  which  is 
sandy  ;  the  marks  for  anchoring  are  the  high  lauds  ol  Plumb  islaud  N .  W.  and 
the  S.  part  of  Gardner'^island  in  sight,  bearing  S.  by  W.  or  S.;  you  will  have 
12  or  10  fathoms  water.  The  bo'tom  is  saixl  and  mud.  About  4  miles  within 
.Montague  point,  one  and  a  half  mile  from  the  shore,  lies  a  reef  bearing  N,  \V.

of  Plumb  islaud  and'  Oyster  pond,  through  which  channel  you  will  have  from 
4  to  20  fathoms  water.  When  going  into  the  bay  you  may  go  within  n  cable's 
length  of  Gardner's  island,  where  you  will  have  10  fatlioms  water.  You  should 
be  careful  not  to  go  too  nigh  Gull  rock,  as  there  is  a  rocky  spot  1 J  mile  from 
it,  on  which  there  are  about  3  fathoms  at  low  water.  This  shoal  lies  with  the: 
following  marks  and  bearings,  namely :  a  liouse  on  Plumb  island,  (standing  about 
one  third  of  the  way  between  the  middle  and  the  N.  E  end,)  on  with  the  north-

tiepth  of  water  you  pleitte,  from  5  to  8  fathoms. 

Ou  the  S.  W .  side  of  Gardner's  island  there  is  very  pood  riding.  If  you  ire 
totlie  eastward  of  this  inland,  with  an  eahterly  wind,  and  wish  to  take  shelter 
under  the  S.  W.  side,  you  must  give  the  N.  VV.  end  of  the  island  a  Ur<:e  birth, 
as  above  directed,  and  as  you  open  the  VV.  side  of  the  island,  you  may  haul 
iTund  the  N.  W.  point,  and  anchor  where  you  please.  The  soun<lini;s  are  regular.

After  you  get  into  muddy  bottom,  it  is  best  to  keep  the  lead  a  iroMiir  often  on

Directions  for  sailing  by  the  Light- House  on  Fayen  weather's  Is- 
land, at  the  entrance  of  Black  Rock  Harbour,  on  the  north 
shore  of  Long  Island  Sound. 

THE  harbour  of  Black  Rock,  although  safe  and  easy  of  access,  yetissosilii- 
ted  that  no  direct  course  can  be  given  to  steer  for  the  light,  that  will  carry  you 
direct  into  the  harbour,  as  that  depends  wholly  on  Ihe  distance  you  are  from  th(! 
light  at  the  lime  you  make  for  it ;  therefore  judgment  is  to  he  used  in  varjinx  the 
bearing  of  the  light  as  you  draw  near  in,  which  is  easily  done  by  observing  the 
following  rules.  In  coming  from  the  westward,  if  you  mean  to  harbour,  t,>  avoid 
the  reef  called  the  Cows,  you  may  bring  the  light  to  bear  N.  and  run  directly 
for  it  until  within  three  quarters' or  half  a  mile  distance,  when  if  orcasion  re- 
quires, you  may  stretch  into  the  westward  in  a  fine  beating  channel  having 
from  5  to  3  fathoms  water,  and  «rM\  ground.  As  )  ou  approach  the  light,  whirh 
stands  on  the  E.  side  oftlie  harbtiur,the  water  grows  gradually  shoalerto  about 
two  fathoms.  The  mouth  of  the  harbour,  althou^zh  not  very  wide,  yet  is  not 
difficult ;  the  light  bearing  E.  of  you  brings  you  completely  into  the  hMrhour.

is  called  the  Westernmost  hummock;  by  keeping  both  easterly  and  westerly- 
hummocks  oiieii  to  your  view,  yoi;  avoid  the  middle  and  the  weslbiuik  entin  ly, 
and  coiiK!  up  chaiiuel  way  throtinh  the  Narrows,  \yhen  thus  far,  }ou  must,  to 
avoid  Hendiick's  reef,  keep  S'aleu  |slan<l  shore  aboard.  The  mark  to  avoid 
Heiidrick's  rec^f  is  to  kvcp  Bedlow's  on  VvMo  island  o^en  with  thfi  point  of  Loiit;- 
islaiid;  for  if  you  can  see  IJedlow's  inland  in  coming  llirouRli  the  Narrows,  there 
is  no  <langer  of  the  reef  from  the  Naj-rows  to  come  up  to  New-York;  you  will 
ulcer  up  for  Bcdiow's  island  to  avoid'  the  Mud  flat,  which  you  lea\con  your 
starboard  hand ;  this  flat  is  a  kind  of  oyster  bed,  or  bauk  of  mud  and  slielU,  aud 
has  not  more  than  ]  1  feet  on  it  at  low  w  ater  ;  but  to  avoid  this  flat  <lo  not  stand 
too  far  to  the  westward,  on  account  of  Robliin's  red",  which  to  avoid,  ruimingoi) 
ihc  west  side  of  the  channel,  the  mark  is,  to  keep  the  point  of  land  up  the  North 
river  (on  which  Fort  Lee  stands)  open  with  the  east  side  of  Bedlow's  island, 
nftcr  which  there  is  nothing  material  to  obstruct  the  navigation  to  New  York, 
it  being  very  steep  near  the  point  of  Governor's  island,  and  the  rocks  near  the 
battery  do  not  exceed  one  hundred  yard:;  from  the  sliore.  There  is  a  reef  of 
rocks  in  the  East  river,  known  by  the  nauic  of  the  Middle  reef,  which  can  be 
distinguished  at  all  times  by  the  ripof  thelidL'  going  over  it,  both  flood  and  ebb. 
luirthcr— After  making  the  Highlands  of  Ncvev^uk,  which  is  to  the  south- 
ward of  Samly  hook,  you  may  run  boldly  in  within  il  miles  of  the  beach,  and  in 
steering  along  to  the  northward,  observe  to  keep  in  about  8  fathoms  water,  until 
you  cet  the  light-house  to  bear  W.  by  S.  J-  S.  then  if  you  have  a  round  hill,  call- 
ed Mount  Pleasant,  some  (listance  iir  Jersey,  in  one  view  with  the  land  abtmt 
one  quarter  of  a  mile  to  the  southward  of  the  liglit-hoiiso,  you  are  in  a  situation 
to  pass  the  bar  ;  steer  in  W.  i  N.  until  you  are  over  it;  you  will  have  on  it, 
at  low  wnter,  3  fathoms ;  when  over,  you  will  be  in  four  and  a  half  fathoms— 
pass  the  Hook  and  light-house  about  half  a  mile,  at  which  distance  you  wiil  bare 
.5  and  0  fathoms.  Wheu  you  have  the  point  of  the  Hook,  on  which  the  beacon 
stands,  bearing  S.  S.  E.  you  may  then  haul  to  the  snu'hward,  and  round  the 
Hook,  and  come  too,  from  one  to  two  miles  distant,  the  Hook  bearing  from  E.

about  N.  W.  tJ  miles  from  the  south  end  ef  the  shoals.  NVheo  the  wind  is  to 
the  eastward  it  is  generally  thick  wcallier  on  the  coast.  After  you  pass  the  south- 
ward of  Chincoleaque,  steer  S.  S.  \\.  for  the  light-house  on  Cape  Ilcnry,  for  the 
nortlieru  parts  of  Michapuiigo  shoals  lie  4  or  5  leagues  to  the  northward  of 
buiiitrs  island,  ami  the  southern  part  of  them  comes  near  abreast  of  said  island. 
In  stei^ring  to  the  S.  W.  westward  5  or  6  leigiies  S.  E.  of  Smith's  island,  you 
vi:l  have  12  or  13  fathoms,  nnrl  in  some  places  3  and  4  fathoms.  When  you 
are  20  leagues  from  land,  in  the  latitude  of  'M"  .30',  you  will  have  froin  40  to  43 
fathoms  ;  but  when  to  the  southward  of  Cape  Iltnry,  you  will  have  fiom  7  to  8 
fathoms,  within  a  leaciie  of  the  land,  and  a  strong  southerly  current,  which  In 
general  runs  from  2  to  2f  Kuots  an  hour. 


Directions  for  sailing  in  by  Cape  Henry  Light-housxf. 

WIIEX  coming  from  sea,  in  the  latitude  of  Cape  Henry,  you  meet  with  sounfl- 
ingi  about  25  leagues  off,  which  you  may  observe  by  the  colour  of  the  water. 
On  the  south  eda;e  of  the  bank  jou  will  have  40  fathoms  water,  which  will  shoal 
to  20,  and  still  decrease  as  you  approich  tlie  shore,  generally  sandy  bottom.  In 
clear  weather,  you  may  see  the  land  when  in  about  10  or  11  fathoms,  regular 
soundings,  at  which  time  you  will  be  about  5  leagues  to  the  southward  of  it. 
To  the  northward  of  the  land,  in  6  fathoms,  the  soundings  are  irregular,  and  the 
ground  coarser.  In  coming  in,  with  the  wind  northwardly,  you  must  be  careful 
of  the  outer  part  of  the  Middle  ground,  which  lies  14  miles  E.  N.  E.  from  Cape 
Henry,  and  7  miles  S.  E.  by  E  from  Cape  Charles.  You  may  go  so  near  it  aa 
to  bring  Cape  Henry  to  bear  W.  i  S.  which  will  carry  you  round  the  tail  of  it 
in  4^  or  5  fathoms  water,  when  you  will  deepen  into  II,  12,  or  13  fathoms,  and 
then  haul  away  for  the  bay,  the  cap«  being  steep  too.  The  channel  between 
tlie  cape  and  Middle  ground  is  about  4  miles  vi  le,  and  8  fathoms  water  close  to 
the  latter. 

With  a  fair  wind,  you  may  bring  the  Ijght-house  to  bear  west;  but  if  you  have 
the  wind  ahead,  and  are  obliged  to  turn  in,  you  may  stand  to  the  southward  till 
the  light-house  bears  N.  W.  by  N.  and  to  the  northward  till  it  bears  W.  S.  W. 
You  will  have  0  or  10  fathoms  within  a  mile  of  the  light-house,  and  from  6  to  ^ 
fathoms  close  to  the  Middle  grouad.     .,.•*.■ 

General  Directions  for  the  Horse  Shoe. 

In  coming  in  by  Cape  Henry,  and  no  pilot,  with  a  free  wind  and  comnmndiog 
breeze,  tide  either  clib  or  flood,  bring  Cape  Henry  light  to  bear  E.  S.  E.  and 
steer  W.  N.  W.  and  you  will  get  soundings  ou  the  Shoe  7,  0,  to  5  fathoms  as

Directions  for  those  bound  to  the  Capes  of  Virginia. 

COUIISES  15 Y  COMPASS. 

IN  cominp;  from  sea  and  fallins  into  the  northward,  you  may  make  an  islancl 
called  Ho;;  island,  and  also  Mathapuntjo  iiiland;  this  lattt'r  is  a  small  island.  Hog 
island  and  Snrith's  islaiul  are  aboiU  7  or  S  leagues  from  ench  other,  and  a  stran- 
gcrmay  take  the  one  for  tlie  other.  Hog  is-land  is  longer  than  Smith's-,  and  the 
trees  stand  more  open  and  arc  not  so  thick  as  on  Smith's  island,  and  in  going  on 
to  the  southward  hom  oIl'Hog  islan«l, )  ou  will  make  Sand  liills  which  lay  between 
Hog  island  and  Smith's  island,  being  a  sure  mark  you  have  not  passed  Smith's 
island.  He  cartful  not  to  come  iicirer  than  7  fathoms  whcu  ofl"  the  Saud  liills, 
as  nearer  than  7  fathoms  the  j^round  is  broken. 

Smith's  island  is  tb.e  first  island  after  p  issing  the  Sand  hills  above  mentioned ; 
on  fhe  norlhern  end  of  it  there  are  some  straggling  trees  which  appear  like  a 
grove,  but  which  join  on  to  the  itland.  As  you  draw  up  with  Smith's  hhiud, 
you  may  haul  into  Gaud  3  fntlionis  till  you  get  near  abreast  of  it. 

Smith's  island  is  a  good  place  to  anchor  under,  with  the  winds  from  jV.  N.  W, 
to  W.  N.  W.  and  vessels  often  come  too  tlicre  if  the  wiud  is  coming  out  from  N. 
and  westward. 

If  you  intend  to  anchor  there,  bring  it  to  bear  W.  S.  W.  and  run  for  it,  and 
you  may  go  in  a»  near  as  your  draft  of  water  will  admit,  into  3  fathoms  or  less, 
if  you  choose :  you  Avill  have  blue  nuidand  sand.  And  when  yoji  gel  underway 
from  thence  steer  S.  by  W.  till  you  cross  the  \ottli  Channel  in  'I  fathoms;  keep 
on  until  you  raise  your  grou'ul  i;ito  5  fathoms  outhe  middle  ground,  then  steer 
S.  >V.  which  will  cross  the  middle  in  1  fathoms,  keep  on  S.  W.  until  you  deepen 
hit.)  0  or  7  fathoms,  ship  channel ;  then  with  a  strong  breeze  steer  W.  by  K".  which 
will  cany  you  acri»ss  in  deep  water  uiilil  you  raise  your  ground  on  the  Shoe, 
When  at  anchor  under  Smith's  island.  Cape  Henry  light  bears  about  S.  S.  W. 

In  coming  in  from  the  southward  bound  to  Cape  Henry,  keep  in  7  fathoms  un- 
til you  begiii  to  draw  up  with  False  Capo,  which  li^s  abaut  7  leagues  from  Cape 
Henry  towaids  Currituck;  then  0  to  10  fathoms  is  full  near  enough  to  go  to 
False  Cape.  After  you  have  got  to  the  northward  of  False  Cape,  you  may  tlieo 
keep  again  iu  7, 8  and  9  fathoms,  (ship  channel)  till  you  get  up  with  Cape  Heory.

ItF-MAUK.  In  steering  \V.  N.  W.  as  above,  should  you  deejien  your  water 
to  n,  1 0  i  ihoms,  or  more,  you  may  know  you  have  passed  the  bar  ofT  Willougli-i 
by's  I'oint. 

If  <Ioin;»  aion^on  tiie  soulli  side  you  shoalen  your  water  from  5  fathoms,  linul 
off  to  the  northward  and  keep  in  about  (5  or  7  fathoms  till  you  jud<;e  yourself 
nearly  up  whh  Willou^'liby's  |)oint;  ^r,  no  nearer  to  it  than  7  fathorr.s.  By 
hauling  to  the  iiorliiward  you  will  deepen  your  water. 

On  the  Hoi>e  Shoe  side,  the  bottom  is  hard  san<!,  and  on  the  south  side  it  is 
soft  batiom  until  drawing  on  to  ^^'iiIon!:llby's  |!oinf,  where  it  is  hard:  Therefore 
be'm^  on  the  south  side  where  the  ground  is  soft,  you  may  nlways  knoAV  drawing 
up  with  Willoughby's  as  soon  as  you  get  hard  sand  bottom.  Then  haul  off  as  be- 
fore directed  for  Old  Point  Comfort  li^irht. 

Of  the  Thimble.  It  is  a  small  lump  on  the  Horse  Shoe,  with  abeul  ?,  feet  wa-, 
lev  on  it.  It  is  steep  too,  fay  7  faiiioms,  but  being  small  it  is  quickly  passed. 
It  liesa  little  Ijelow  Willoughby's  point,  on  the  oi)pesite  side,  to  avoid  which  is 
the  reason  wliy  it  is  necessary  to  get  soundings  first  on  the  Horse  Shoe.  The 
Thimble  is  about  IJ  or  2  miles  olF  the  shore. 

Black  river  point  bearing  N.  Jf.  W.  you  arc  abreast  of  the  Thimble. 

There  is  good  anchoring  all  over  the  Shoe,  from  3^-  to  4'nnles  from  land  to 
the  tail  or  outer  part  of  it,  and  nigher  in  shore  for  small  vessels. 

As  the  setting  of  the  tide  varies  much  at  different  stages  thereof,  attentioa 
should  he  paid  as  well  to  the  bearing  of  the  light  as  the  soundings,  when  rui'ning

Cape  Hattcr.i«  shoals  extend  12  miles  iu  a  south  easterly  dtrcrtlon,  with  10 
and  12  fuiioing  oa  the  extreme  pails.  The  moHt  d  <ii<:ei'ous  shoal  lies  iu  lat.  35" 
^'  N.  the  middle  of  uhkh  is  10  miles  distaut  from  tiie  Light-house,  and  has  barely 

2  falhoiiiB  water:  between  that  an<i  the  Dianioml  SIiohI,  which  lies  almost  di- 
rectly oll'tlie  ca|)e,  tlieie  is  a  pood  passisage  for  small  vessels,  in  moderate  wea- 
thei',  or  when  the  wind  is  off  the  Idiid,  but  U  would  be  always  salebt  to  go  round 
(he  shoal  in  10  and  12fatiioms. 

The  Light-house  at  Cape  Hatleras  exhibit^  a  fine  light  when  in  order,  and 
can  be  scei)  very  pUinly  in  12  fathinns  water  on  the  outer  part  of  the  shoals, 
when  only  10  feet  above  the  level  of  the  sea ;  but  when  on  board  a  lar»e  vessel, 
it  miftht  be  seen  in  20  or  25  fathoms.  The  sonndiD^s  from  the  Cape  are  2,  3, 3, 
2,  6  and  7  fathoms,  and  then  de«pens  to  13,  on  the  S.  8.  E.  part. 

It  is  high  water  at  Cape  Haiteras  shoals,  on  full  and  change  of  the  moon,  at 

3  o'clock  and  45  minutes,  and  the  title  flows  from  4  to  5  feet,  being  govenied  by 
the  winds  in  the  olRng,  and  in  eauterly  gales  it  runs  several  feet  higher.  8.  W. 
by  W.  4  W.  from  Cape  Ilatteras,  0  Icaguies  distant,  is  Ocracock  Inlet,  on  whkh 
are  15  Let  water.  S.  W.  by  W.  J  W.  from  Ocracock  Inlet,  8  leagues  distant, 
lies  Cedar  iulcl,  and^S.  W.  from  Cedar  lulct,  6  leagues  distant,  lies  Cape  Look 
Out. 


Cape  Look  Out,  ^ 

CAPE  Look-Out  lies  in  34"  34'  N.  lat.  and  76°  37'  AV.  long,  and  the  cape 
woods  (where  it  is  contemplated  to  build  a  Light  house)  iu  lat.  34°  36' N.  and 
long.  76"  36'  VV.  The  shoals  extend  from  the  Cape  15  miles,  in  a  S.  S.  E.  di- 
rection,  and  the  broken  groumi  a«  far  as  lat.  34"  21'  N.  In  that  lat.  there  are 
14  and  15  fathoms  water,  and  from  thence  to  the  Gulph  Stream,  the  souadings 
are  gradual,  95  fathoms ;  tlie  tracts  ai-e  faithfully  laid  down  in  the  chart,  together 
with  all  the  soundings  from  the  outer  |)art  of  the  skoal  to  the  edge  of  tbe  Gulph 
Stream. 

The  outer  part  of  Cane  Look-Out  shoals  lie  S.  W.  t  S.  70  miles  from  Cape 
Haiteras,  and  69  miles  S.  W.  ■}  W.  from  the  outer  part  of  Cape  Hatteras  shoals. 
Between  the  outer  part  of  the  tihoals  you  will  hare  about  20  fathoms.  On  the 
eastern  part  of  Cape  Look-Out  Shoals  there  ai-e  5  fathoms,  near  them  on  the 
-western  side  arc  from  5  to  0  fathoms. 

Old  Topsail  Inlet,  or  entrance  to  Beaufort,  lies  about  3  leagues  W.  N.  W. 
from  Cape  Look-Out  It  has  3  fathoms  water,  but  the  eastern  side  of  the  en- 
trance is  formed  by  a  long  spit,  extending  westward.  The  channel  in  lies  first 
N.  E.  by  E.  and  then  alters  gradually  round  the  flat,  which  exteuds  from  the 
larboard  or  western  side  to  the  N.  N.  W.  In  proreediug  up  to  Beaufort,  you 
wMI  have  3,  4  and  3  fathoms  iu  tbe  channel,  and  may  anchor  iu  3  fathoms  at  low- 
water.

Ciipe  Fear  Light-House. 

BALD  Head,  a  noted  blulT  at  the  mouth  of  Cope  Fear  River,  is  at  th*  S.  W, 
oHid  of  Smith's  Iblaiid,  and,  with  Oak  Island,  mIucIi  is  long  and  narrow,  fornix 
the  main  entrance  into  the  river. 

Cape  Fear  Light-lioUbe  is  situated  near  Bald  Head.  The  iron  lamp  is  10 
feet  0  inches  iu  diameter,  and  about  15^  feet  9  inches  in  height,  from  the  floor  to 
the  top  of  the  roof. 

From  the  point  of  the  cape  the  Liglit-liouse  bears  W.  N.  W.  distance  4  miles ; 
and,  from  the  extremity  of  tlie  Fi-j  ing-Pan  Shoal.  X.  W,  by  N,  8  leagues. 

In-sailing  from  the  ^eastward,  bring  the  !1^ht  to  bear  N.  N.  E.  and  then  steer  in 
N.  which  will  cnn-y  a  vessel  clear  of  the  shoal,  and  bring  her  a  short  distance 
westward  of  the  bar.  Observe,  however,  if  it  is  night,  not  to  go  iu  less  thau  7 
fathoms  water. 

If  it  be  necessary  to  sail  over  the  bar  without  a  pilot,  bring  it  td  bear  N.  or 
N.  i  E.  and  steer  directly  in  for  it,  until  the  vessel  is  closi;  in  with  the  beach, 
and  then  in  for  the  fort,  which  bears  from  thciicc  about  north^  and  is  plainly  in 
Bight.     The  diannel  oTer  the  bar  is  direct,  and  of  godd  width. 

It  may  be  neccissary  to  observe  to  stran<;er8,  tiiat,  in  passing  the  shoals,  cspe* 
cially  iu  a  dark  uiglit,  it  is  most  prudent  to  steer  west,  in  [at.  33°  20'  or  25'  at 
most,  until  they  shoal  their  irater  to  7  or  8  fathoms ;  by  doing  this,  they  may  b<- 
sure  of  being  to  the  westward  of  ftie  bar. 

When  going  over  the  bar,  take  care  not  to  bring  the  pitch  of  the  cape  to  the 
eastward  of  E.  by  N.  until  you  have  brought  BaUl  Head  to  bear  N.  byE  when 
the  channel  will  be  fairly  open.  The  Middle  Ground  on  the  larboard,  and  the 
Fingers  ortthe  starboard  side,  will  shew  themselves  pittinly  by  the  breakers. 
You  may  venture  in  at  half  flood. 

When  sailing  towards  these  coasts,  it  is  pnideut  to  keep  nearly  a  degree  to  the 
soulhwartl  of  the  latitude-oP  the  place  you  intend  to  make,  untityou  reckon 
yourself  on  the  edge  of  the  Gulf  Stream,  when  you  must  be  directed  by  judg- 
ment, according  tu  ciicumstances.  Do  not.  if  possible  to  avoid  it,  sail  to  the 
northward  of  33°  20';  or,  at  the  highest,  33°  25'  until  you  obtain  10  fathoms 
water.  In  this  depth  you  will  be  w  ithin  the  south  or  outer  end  of  the  Frying- 
lian  Shoal,  wbicii  lies  in  latitude  33°  3(j'.  In  approaching  the  coaat,  in  33"  20' 
your  first  souudings  will  be  from  30  to  35  fathoms;  in  this  depth  you  will  be 
very  near  to  the  edge  of  the  Gulph  Stream,  you  will  have  fine  grey  sand,  with 
black  spots,  when  you  gk:t  into  1 7  fathoms,  there  is  a  long  flat  in  thi<!  depth  of 
>vater.  In«teering  west  you  will,  for  the  fast  5  or  6  leagues,  shoalen  the  water 
▼cry  little.  When  you  come  in  14  fathoms,  you  shoalen  your  water  quicker, 
bat  gradually.  You' will  see  the  land  from  10  fathoms  water,  if  the  weather  be 
clear,  and  may  then  be  sure  that  you  are  within  the  Fiying-pan,  from  the  outside 
of  this  shoal.  To  the  westward  of  northwest,  no  laud  can  be  seen,  when  without 
the  shoals. 

J[AVe  decline  giving  directions  for  sailing  into  the  ports  of  North  CsiroUna  as 
alHhe  harbours  are  barred,  and  always  subject  to  some  alteration  by  eveiy  gale, 
particularly  in  the  equinoctial  storms;  but  the  bars  create  only  a  part  of  the 
danger  in  sailing  into  those  ports ;  it  is  the  vast  bed  of  shoals  that  lies  within  the 
bars,  with  their  innumerable  small  channels  which  give  to  tide  so  many  different 
directions  that  even  the  pilots  who  lire  on  the  spot  fiod  it  difllcalt  t9  carry  a 
vessel  in  without  s»me  accidcot.

will,  for  the  first  i  or  6  leagues,  shoal  the  water  very  little;  when  you  come 
into  14  fathoms,  you  will  shoal  your  water^  quicker,  but  gradually.  In  10  fa- 
thoms water  you  will  f^ee  the  land,  if  the  weather  be  clear ;  and  you  may  then  be 
pure  that  you  are  within  the  Frying-pan.  From  tlie  outside  of  this  shoal  you

when  seen  at  a  distance,  to  be  a  sauil  left  dry  l>y  the  tide.*  From  the  south  en- 
trance of  Santee  River,  to  about  2  miles  S.  W.  of  Cape  Roman,  there  is  a  shoal 
which  extends  to  a  conwderable  distance  from  the  land:  the  S.  E.  point  of  it 
lies  about  5  leagues  S.  by  B.  from  Georgetown  lighi-house,  qnd  the  S.{W.  point 
lies  about  2i- leagues  S.  E.  from  Cape  Roman.  Close  t<j  this  dane>erou8  sand 
there  are  4  and  .3  fathoms;  the  land  is  so  low,  that  you  cannot  see  it  from  the 
deck  of  a  ship,  at  the  extremity  of  the  shoal. 

The  outer  shoal  of  Cape  Roman  lies  about  5  leagues  S.  S.  W.  from  Qeorgetown

gradual  siiuiidiugs.  When  you  come  near  the  bar  you  may  see  the  north  and 
fsoiilh  breakerf,  between  which  is  the  entrance  over  the  bar.  In  running  over 
the  bar  you  muit  have  the  light-hoiiK.'  to  bear  N.  W.  by  N.  ami  run  in,  which 
course  will  carry  yoii  clear  on  the  north  sand  which  lies  wilhin  the  bar.  Con- 
tiuui' this  course  bet. veen  the  2  breakers,  when  yon  will  find  from  12  to  17 
feel  water,  according  as  the  tide  may  be.  Follow  the  ahiove  course,  taking  care 
that  the  tide  of  ttoo<l  does  not  set  you  on  the  north  breakers,  till  you  come  with- 
in hall  c  mile  of  the  liglitrhouse,  when  you  may  anchor  io  3  lathoms  water. 
Buoys  are  in  general  placed  on  the  bar,  io  12  feet  water  at  low  tide.  The 
buoys  are  black. 

There  is  another  ship  channel  to  the  southward  of  this,  called  Lawford's  chan- 
nel,  where  you  will  have  from  10  to  12  feet,  according  as  the  fide  may  be.  In 
going  into  this  channel,  the  coui"se  is  N.  N.  W      There  is  a  buoy  here  also. 

This  aiK-horage  is  called  Five-fathom  hole,  but  it  has  no  more  than  3^  fath- 
»ms.  From  thence  your  course  is  about  N.  by  E.  3^  miles,  in  6  or  8  fathoms 
water,  which  will  carry  you  abreast  ofCumming's  point;  when  this  point  bears 
west,  half  a  mile  <listant,  steer  N.  N.  W.  for  the  S.  W.  part  of  Sullivan's  island ; 
you  will  have  from  7  to  10  fathoms  water.  You  may  go  within  a  quarter  of  a 
mile  of  Sullivan's  island,  as  it  is  bold-  Yonr  course  from  thenre  to  Chaiiestoi: 
is  about  W.  i  N.  and  the  distance  4f  or  5  miles.  When  you  bring  Hog  island 
to  bear  N.  and  Fort  Johnson  to  bear  S.  by  W.  you  are  up  witii  the  eastern  end 
of  the  Middle  ground,  which  you  must  not  go  nearer  to  thsm  3  fathoms.  Yoii 
may  then  steer  nearlv  W.  keeping  in  4  or  5  fathoms  water,  which  will  carry 
you  between  the  Marsh  or  Shut's  folly  and  the  Middle  ground.  This  clinnnel 
is  narrow,  not  being  more  than  a  quarter  of  a  mile  broad,  as  the  flats  lie  off  from 
Shut's  folly ^oue  quarter  of  a  mile.  Continue  your  west  course  till  you  come  up 
to  tlie  to^vn,  where  you  may  anchor  in  5  or  0  fathoms  water.  In  running  up 
from  Sullivan's  island  stand  no  nearer  to  the  southward  than  till  you  come  into  3 
fatlioms,  for  fear  of  the  spit,  (a  Middle  ground  tiiat  lies  off  to  the  N.  E.  and  B. 
from  Fort  Johnson's  point,)  as  far  as  Cuniroinv's  point,  nor  to  the  northward 
nearer  thau  3  or  4  fathoms.

dust^-y;  between  these  two  breakers  lies  the  etttranic  of  the  chanari  into  I'ort 
Iloyal  harbour,  wliich  is  about  a  mile  wide.  The  m.uk  to  go  clear  of  the  north 
breaker  is,  a  |>arcel  of  high  trees  which  stand  near  the  moillh  of  the  river  May, 
iind  appear  like  an  isIhimI,  kept  just  open  of  Klizal)eth  point.  Your  courre 
tluough,  between  tlic  two  shoals,  is  VV.  {  N.  or  W.  by  N.  In  this  ch  I'lfl  thrrr 
arc  not  less  than  3^-  or  4  fathoms,  ni  low  water.  Continue  to  steer  aitforcsaid, 
between  the  two  breakers,  until  you  bring I'hillip's  point  to  lH:!ir  JN.  IS.  \V.  ilieu 
')stccr  directly  for  it,  and  you  will  liavc,  ns  you  |)roceed,  0,  8,  and  7  fnlhoms 
water.  When  you  are  abreast  of  Phillip's  point,  give  it  a  small  birth,  and 
kteer  up  N,  by  \V.  i  VV.  iu  6  aud  5  fathoms  water;  in  (he  latter  depth  you  may 
uiichor  in  n  very  safe  harbour. 

There  is  also  a  cliaooel  between  Martin's  Industry  and  Gaskin  bank,  called 
the  South  chainicl,  in  which  there  are  not  les«  Ihao  12  feet  at  \m-  water.  In 
order  to  go  in  throu<;li  this  channel,  you  must,  wheu  in  7  fallion  '?  water,  bring 
lliltou's  head  to  hear  N.  W.  by  \.  and  the'i  steer  with  an  ebb  tide  N.  W.  aiut 
with  H  flood  tide  X.  W.  by  N.  unlil  Phillip's  point  bears  N.  Ijy  W.  i  W.  You 
may  tlicu  steer  for  the  point,  and  proceed  as  before  directed. 

About  3  j  miles  b.  E.  from  Hilton's  head,  and  4  miles  S.  by  E.  from  Phillip't; 
point  lies  the  east  end  of  the  Joiner's  bank ;  it  th;ice  extends  W.  N.  W.  alwut 
•21  miles,  and  has  o^  falhoi'is  on  it  at  low  wa'er.  Hilton's  head  is  on  the  south 
bide  of  the  harbour,  and  is  a  higher  hlulT  point  of  land  than  any  tliereabouls. 

Tybcc  inlet  lii-s  5  leagues  h.  VV.  i  W.  from  tlie  entrance  of  Port  Royal  «o<itli 
channel;  between  them  is  Hilton's  Head  island ;  it  is  large,  fertile, and  well  in- 
habited. From  (his  iblaud  the  Gaskin  bank  extends  about  8  miles  ou  tlie  broad- 
est part.    Y(»u  may  proceed  along  this  bank  iu  5  fathoms  water. 

Some,  when  bound  to  Port  Royal,  reckon  it  best  to  make  the  land  about  Ty- 
bcc, because  the  light-liouKe  nv-ikes  that  part  of  the  coast  distinguishable  from 
any  other  part.  Tybce  iidet  is  the  entrance  of  Savannah  river.  Ships  vhich 
draw  U  or  13  feet  water,  may  go  in  at  Tybee,  and  proceed  through  land  to 
Ucauforl  iu  Pt>ri  Royal  islands,  and  from  Beaufort,  vessels  of  8  or  0  feet  water 
may  go  through  laiul  to  Ch  ulestoo.  From  Charleston,  vessels  drawing  *  or  8 
feet  water,  may  go  through  land  to  the  river  Medway  in  Georgia,  which  lies  30 
miles  south  of  Savannah. 

Ou  this  coast  it  is  observed,  that  N.  E.  easterly,  and  S.  E.  wind*  cause  higher 
tides  than  other  winds,  aud  also  somewhat  alter  their  course.  At  Port  Royal  en-  , 
kance  the  tide  flows  on  the  change  and  fiill  days  of  the  moon,  one  quarter  past 
S  o'clock.     About  6  leagues  from  the  land,  in  12  fatlioms  water,  the  flood  sets 
strongly  to  the  southward,  and  t,he  cWj  to  the  northward;  further  off  irom  the

WHEN  in  9  fatiioms  water,  ofT  the  Bar  of  St.  .Tqhn's,  the  course  is  S.  S.  E 
distance  11  leames.  The  nortliernmosjt  land  of  the  bay  is  called  Point  Cartel. 
When  you  are  as  far  lo  tho  southward  as  this  point,  you  will  see  the  island  Anas- 
tstia,  in  length  IB  miles,  and  on  the  south  side  of  the  bay  ;  the  north  side  of 
Vhich  has  a  high  white  tower,  like  a  light-house,  where  a  look-out  is  kept. 
AVhen  a  vessel  appears  insight,  a  signal  is  mn<le  to  the  town  of  St.  Augustine,  by 
hoisting  iheir  colours  and  firing  a  gun  ;  if  the  vessel  appears  to  the  nortliward 
of  the  bay,  and  is  a  three-ipast  vessel,  they  hoist  an  ensign,  and  hang  out  a  pol^p 
ill  the  tbrm  of  a  triangle,  with  three  balls  on  the  north  side  of  the  tower ;  if  to  tht5 
south,  the  balls  are  hung  out  on  the  south  side  of  the  tower;  if  n  two-mast  ves- 
sel, two  balls  and  a  Jack  hoisted ;  if  a  sloop  one  ball  and  a  pcndaot ;  for  a  fleet 
they  <ire  five  guns  and  an  ensign  hoisted.  The  bar  of  St.  Augustine  has  no 
more  than  10  feet  water  on  it  at  high  water,  spring  tides,  and  at  low  water  & 
feet.  There  is  a  swash  to  the  northward  of  (he  bar,  with  \  1  and  12  feet  wa- 
ter; but  the  sand  shifting  often,  and  the  passage  being  so  narrow  and  crooked, 
the'pilots  seldotn  attempt  it.  The  latitude  of  this  signal-tower  is  29»  58'  N. 
It  flows,  at  full  and  change  S.  E,  by  S.  &fld  N.  W.  by  N.  0  h.  45  min.  The

bear  N.  \^'.  by  N.  liu;  s-oulherninost  land  S.  S.  t.  and  you  will  Ijc  near  the  mid- 
dle oi  the  bay,  it  bc'lii|T  limnaterial  which  way  you  cast  your  shij*.  13nt  should 
yoa  li;  to;>  far  to  the  tiOiih«ard  or  southward,  there  would  be  danger  in  casting 
the  uro  12  way.  and  more  hO  o.i  the  tide  of  flood,  which  sets  strongly  into  the 
bay.  Ii  it  should  be  likely  to  nlow  from  die  casUvard,  do  uot  attempt  to  get 
under  wrij'h  whilst  the  tide  ol  Hood  runs. 

I'loai  the  l.-i  of  November  to  tlie  last  of  February,  the  Ijardest  gales  prevail 
that  blows  on  thi.-  eoa>-t :  and  iu  general  ironi  the  N.  JS.  E.  to  the  S.  S.E.  the 
wind  any  way  easterly  comes  on  ver^  suddenly  to  u  g.ile  during  the  season 
abovemenlianed ;  and  these  gales  irive  bui  very  li.ile  warning.  An  experienced 
iiaviguoi-  say:^,  "  In  the  year  1777.  I  was  at  anchor  in  St.  Augustine  Bay,  when 
?'.  came  on  to  blow  fit  K.  N'.  E.  and  in  13  minutes  time  I  was  obliged  to  slip, 
and  had  we  not  carried  sail  to  the  utmost,  we  should  not  have  cleared  the  land  to 
the  .southward.  N.  B.  When  the  wind  backs  against  the  sun,  with  a  small  raiu, 
you  will  ;eifcive  the  sea  to  ri.se  before  the  win  I  comesi;  thei)  prepare  Cor  a 
gale,  whicii  in  general  will  last  50  or  00  hours.  If  you  should  be  oblige<l  to  cut 
or  slip,  cirry  all  the  sail  you  poshibly  can,  to  get  an  oiling  before  it  increases, 
so  as  to  put  you  past  carrying  any  sail,  which  is  always  the  case  ;  and  observe 
that,  the  Hood  tide  setting  to  the  southward  will  be  of  no  service  to  you  farther 
out  than  12  fathom.s  water,  when  jon  will  be  in  the  southern  cuiTeiit  until  you 
gel  into  40  fathoms  which  i.s  about  15  leagues  from  the  land.  Then  you  are  in 
ttie  Gulf  Stream,  issuing  out  of  the  Gulf  of  Florida,  and  which  runs  ftrongly  all 
along  the  edge  of  foundings  about  N.  N.  E.  as  far  to  the  northward  as  the  lati- 
ttide  35"  15'.  Then  it  ^ets  more  easterly,  or  aboujt  N.  E.  by  N.  as  far  as  the 
latitude  37",  from  thence  as  far  as  the  Capes  of  Delaware  or  Phiiadolphia,  iu  la- 
titude 38°  30',  its  direction  is  about  E.  N.  E.  and  frpm  tjiencc,  in  the  latitude 
pf  33°  57'  N.  it  sets  away  nearly  cast."

FROM  the  Bay  of  St.  Augustine,  wnich  liesinlat.  29°  51' N.  steering  N.E. 
yill  run  you  into  the  Gulf  Stream,  out  of  soundings;  then  steer  N.  E.  by  N.  un- 
til you  get  into  the  latitude  of  Cape  Hatteras,  which  is  in  35"  H'  N.  then  yon 
may  haul  up  more  northerly  half  a  point,  till  you  get  on  soundings  iu  ornear  tlic 
hlilude  of  the  Capes  of  Virginia.  AVheninlSor  20  fathoms,  and  near  that

oil  either  side  of  the  entrance  of  the  harbour  of  New- York.  When  you  have 
nearly  made  the  distance  before-men'-ioned,  be  careful  not  to  run  in  the  night  or 
thick  weather;  and  come  no  nearer  than  12  or  1 4  fathoms.  To  come-to  in  ttie

THESE  islands  being  surrounded  with  innumerable  slioals,  much  precaution 
is  necessary  in  approaching  them.  The  principal  dau<;er8  lifi  to  the  wostwavd 
and  northward,  and  extend,  from  the  laud,  between  three  aud  five  l('a<>iies,  in  a 
due  west  line,  from  their  southwestern  point  (round  noriheily)  to  a  N.  iV.  f'.. 
one,  from  David's  Head,  their  eastern  extreme.  The  reninitidrr  of  the  coast, 
Ibrmiug  their  southern  and  eastern  boundary,  may  he  npproac'lKd  in  «very  pa«t 
within  a  mile,  and  in  several  places  to  less  tiiau  tialf  that  di.'^lance. 

On  account  of  the  prevalence  of  westerly  winds  in  the  AtlHp.tic,  it  has  bo- 
conte  the  general  practice  for  all  vessels  bound  to  the  Bcniiudns  to  make  the 
land  from  the  westward,  by  getting  into  their  latitude  about  the  08lh  degree  of 
longitude,  and  then  steering  an  east  course  until  they  become  visible. 

The  latitude  of  .32"  8'  N.  being  two  miles  to  the  southward  of  every  danger, 
seems  best  adapted  in  fine  clear  weather  for  this  purpose,  and  will  bring  you  la 
eight  of  Wreck  Hill,  which  being  of  a  conic  form,  and  hnvicg  a  volcanic  ap- 
pearance, is  the  more  remarkable.  The  moment  this  hill  becomes  shut  in  with 
the  otiier  lands,  or  is  no  longer  distinguishable,  you  will  have  parsed  the  only 
danger  to  be  apprehended  olF  the  southern  part  of  tliete  islands,  called  tlieri.  W. 
breakers  (which  doBot,  huwevcr,  IU:  :nore  than  If  mile  from  iiie  litu.l,)  and  niny 
then  iminediitely  close  witb  and  steer  along  the  souliicastern  stHnre,  w-ilitin  a 
mile,  till  you  have  got  the  length  of  Castle  llarbour,  or  brought  David's  Head 
to  bear  about  N.  by  E.  where  you  must  wait  to  receive  your  pilot,  taking  care 
during  that  time  not  to  be  drifted  to  leeward,  as  the  currents  generally  set  to  tlie: 
eastward. 

Should  you  meet  with  a  contrary  wind,  or  the  weather  be  extremely  hazey, 
before  you  have  got  sight  of  the  land,  it  will  be  prudent  in  the  night  not  toftand 
to  the  northward  of  312'*  4'  or  5';  and  if  the  wind  slwuld  be  inclining  to  the 
southward,  I  would  recommend  not  beyond  32°. 

If  bound  to  the  Bermudas  from  England,  or  fc-om  any  part  of  Europe,  I  slnuld 
recommend  a  direct  course  to  be  steered  fa  long  as  the  winds  permitted ;  but  the 
moment  they  become  contrary,  to  get  to  the  southward  into  the  Trades,  and 
theo  rua  down  the  remaining  longitude,  taking  care  to  haul  to  the  northward  iu 
sufficient  time  to  reach  'he  latitude  of  32°  8'  about  the  68"  of  longitude,  and 
then  proceed  aa  above  described  :  but  should  fair  winds  continue  the  whole

As  the  suundin;!;s  do  not  extend  more  tlian  two  miles  from  the  land  on  the

fathoms  oa  the  outer  part  of  the  shoal,  to  (iO  fathoms  close  on  the  edge  of  the 
stream. 

'.''he  nature  of  that  immense  current,  wliich  continually  sets  from  the  Ctdfs  of 
Mexico  and  Florida,  to  the  northward  ami  north  eas, ward,  alon>;  the  greater 
part  of  the  Navigation  described  in  this  work,  is  already  well  understood  ;  and« 
though  we  have  noticed  it,  as  to  its  ed'ccts,  in  severfll  p  irts  of  the  preceding  di- 
rections, we  yet  deem  that,  au  unbroken  view  of  it,  in  its  whole  course  from  the 
Gulf  to  the  northeastward,  may. still  be  acceptable;  :ind  this  we  shall  utlempt 
in  the  present  Edition. 

The  Stream,  from  latitude  2C"  to  28°  g;enerally  sets  nearly  N.  by  E. :  from 
8°  to  about  31°  it  appears  to  run  N.  N.  E.  inclining  a  little  in  the  direction  of 
the  coast,  rather  westerly  :  it  thence  suddenly  turns  to  N.  E.  by  E.  or  a  little 
more  easterly,  to  latitude  35°,  or  about  (lie  parallel  of  Cape  Hatieras. 

From  oirCape  iiatteras  its  direction  is  E.  by  N.  or  a  little  more  northerly,  to 
longitude  70°,  then  East,  rather  southerly ;  and  thence,  diminishing  iu  strength, 
it  falls  away  to  the  R.  8.  E. 

It  has  beeu  stated,  generally,  by  writers  of  ability,  from  the  information  of 
American  coasters,  that  the  northern  edge  of  the  Stream  extends  to 'he  l.ititudc 
ef  -11°  20',  or  -11°  30',  in  the  meridian  of  the  Isle  of  Sable  but  this  at.sertiou 
has  been coi»troverted  by  oiiiers,  iflio  have  a'.'crrcd,  that  itsnorthrrn  edge  'lever 
ascends  beyond  the  parallel  of  .10°.  and  that  ii  does  not  aUaya  border  ou  the 
shoal:i  of  Nantucket.     We  think  the  former  correct. 

It  is,  however,  to  be  considered  that  a  North,  N.  E.  or  East  wind  forces  the 
stream  towards  the  coast,  contracts  its  breadth,  and  thus  increases  its  rapidity. 
Ou  the  contrary,  S.  W.  AVest,  and  N.  W.  winds  force  the  stream  farther  into 
the  ocean,  and  diminishes  its  strength.  It  is  clear,  then,  thai  the  stream  fltictuates 
in  its  direction  and  force,  according  to  circumstances ;  and  no  absolute  nde  caa 
te  given  for  ascertaining  its  more  ordifiary  boundi-.rier :  it  therefore  follows,  tirat 
a  description  of  the  indications,  by  which  it  may  be  known,  is  of  the  more  im- 
portaoce. 

'i'hese  are  tlie  appearance  and  the  temperature  of  the  water.  The  stream  in 
its  lower  latitudes  and  usual  course  in  fair  water,  where  it  flows  uninterruptedly, 
may  be  known  by  its  smooth  and  clear  blue  surface ;  for,  without  the  line  form- 
ed by  a  ripple  OD  its  edge,  the  water,  in  some  places,  appears  like  boiling  water

of  a  blue  colour :  and,  in  other  places,  it  foams  like  the  waters  of  a  cataract,  even 
iii  (lead  calms,  and  in  places  witich  are  fathomless. 

Oil  the  outer  edge  ol  the  hlream,  especially  in  fair  weather,  there  are  j;reat 
ripplin^s,  which  are  \ery  perceptible;  and,  it  has  been  observed  that,  within  it, 
the  water  does  not  sparkle  in  the  night.  The  appearance  of  the  sen-weed,  called 
gull-weed,  by  (\ny,  is  an  indication  of  the  e<lge  of  the  stream. 

liesides  the  odect  which  ditfcrent  Minds  liave  upon  the  Florida  Stream,  it  is 
subject  to  another  cause  that  also  directs  it  towards  or  from  (he  coast;  and  that 
is,  itiG  moon  ;  which,  accord .ng  to  her  posilioo.  has  dinfcrcat  efl'ects  upon  it. 
not,  hovvevi  r,  in  ccjual  pow<r  with  those  of  the  wind  ;  but  the  disposition  of  the 
btrcatn  is  incrcascit  Iu  its  extreme,  if  the  etfects  both  of  the  uin«ls  and  moon  arc 
combiued  ;  tor,  utdiie  time,  tlieuccn  rising  higiiest,  this  rcgulutes  the  flood  and 
tbu,  and  .livi**es  them  in  proportionate  limes ;  consequently  it  directs  and  in- 
creases thcin  will)  the  H^8i^tallce  oi  casterl}  moons  and  winds  to  the  west,  nud 
w  ith  tliat  of  westerly  ni'  ons  and  winds  to  tlie  east ;  so  that  the  west  and  cast 
shores  are  at  'imes  d*  privudut,  and  at  other  times  ovciflowed  by  tides,  occasion- 
ed by  these  vicissitudes 

'llic  boisterous  Last,  N.  E  and  North  winds,  which  affect  tttfeCulf  Stream, 
generally  begin  in  September,  and  continue  while  the  sun  is  in  the  south  until 
March ;  when,  if  the  moon  happens  just  at  the  time  to  he  on  tlic  lull  or  change, 
they  commonly  end  with  a  huriicane. 

From  what  has  been  said,  it  is  clear  that  the  eddies  about  the  edges  of  the 
stream  must  vary  acconting  to  the  circumstances  above  explained.  Along  these 
edges,  but  more  pajticularly  along  the  outer  edge,  there  is  generally  a  current 
running  in  a  contrary  direction,  which  is  accelerated  by  tlie  wind  in  proportioa 
to  its  streijglii,  blowing  contrary  to  tlic  stream,  and  retarded,  or  perhaps  alto- 
pcthrr  obstructed,  by  the  wind  blowing  iu  the  ilirection  of  the  stream.  In  tlic 
latter  case,  tl)e  limits  of  the  stream  will  be  extended. 

In  the  winter,  when  the  cold  upon  the  land  is  most  intense,  vhich  is  generally 
between  Deccralierand  March,  heavy  an<l  continued  gales  very  frequently  pre- 
vail, which  commonly  proceed  from  between  the  North  and  West  across  the 
course  of  the  Gulf  Stream,  from  Cape  Hattcras  until  past  George's  Bank,  nni 
bend  its  directioa  more  to  the  eastward ;  being  aide*),  at  the  same  time,  by  the 
discharge  of  the  great  ba)-8  and  rivers,  increased  by  tlie  force  of  the  wind  blow- 
ing <iown  thern,  aiid  tlie  conslaut  supply  of  stream  that  passes  along  the  coast  of 
the  Carolinas,  the  wliolc  produces  so  strong  a  current  to  the  eastward,  as  to  ren- 
der it  impotsible  for  a  ship  to  approach  the  coast  until  a  chauge  of  wind  com- 
mences. 

During  the  prevalejice  of  a  southerly  or  easterly  wiud,  which  is  not  so  common 
here,  it  has  been  foiitid  that  the  current  is  foixred  close  to,  and  in  some  parts  upon, 
the  edge  of  soundings  ;  being  thus  pent  in  between  the  wind  and  the  shoal  grminds' 
near  the  shore,  the  breadth  is  greatly  diminished,  and  the  velocity  proportiona 
bly  iacrcasC'l.  This  circumstance  has  been,  id  particular,  observed  from  about 
(he  IbngiUide  of  Block  Island,  along  the  edge  of  Nantucket  shonls,  thenpe  beyond 
George's  Bank;  and  also,  along  the  coasts  of  Georgia,  and  part  of  South  Caro- 
lina. In  the  first  place,  that  the  southerly  winds  forced  the  current  to  the  edge 
of  soundinss.  where  it  then  ran  from  If  lo  2  knots ;  and,  in  the  latter  place,  that 
the  easterly  wind  forced  the  current  upon  soundings.  With  West  and  N.  W. 
winds,  the  stream  would  be  removed  some  leagues  farther  oflf. 

These  remarks  are.suiTicient  to  shew  the  uncertainty  of  the  boundaries  or 
edges  of  the  stream.  Tjiese  eddies,  on  the  inner  edge,  arc  inconsiderable ;  but,  on 
the  outer  one,  in  fine  weather,  they  are  strong,  and  of  considerable  extent. 

Another  indicatioH  of  the  ^ream  is,  the  temperature  of  its  water,  which  is  con- 
siderable warmer  than  the  water  on  either  side  of  it.  Bi  an  ingenious  work,  en- 
titled, «  TuFRMOMETBiCAr.  Navio4iion,"  Written  by  Mr.  Jon.  Williams,  and 
published  at  FJiiladelphia,  in  1 790,  we  are  informed  that,  Commodore  TmMn, 
has  ofteu  ascertained  the  velocity  of  the  Gulf  Stream,  to  the  northward  of  Cape 
fiatteraF,  and  found  it  to  be  seldom  less  than  one  knot,  and  never  more  thnn  ttyo

15  miles  |(r  <iay,  to  \iitlihi  12  or  l.**  miles  of  the  land.  This  current,  which  i.^ 
ixjnsidercti  as  the  c<ldy  of  the  OulfSlream,  sets  m»»re  or  lcf^  to  the  H.  \V.  ac- 
corilinj^  to  the  figure  of  the  coast. 

It  has  also  heeii  observed  by  otiiers.  tha*  a  Kou'liern  and  wf  stem  current  coti- 
slaiitly  U'tsin  hljih  latitudes  betwc  en  the  Oulf-Stieam  nnd  const;  more  pnrticu* 
hirly  in  soundings,  at  the  rale  of  half  a  mile  an  hour,  or  more,  according  to  the 
wind. 

An  expericuccd  orticir  of  the  navy,  before  quoted,  has  said  that,  "  In  all  the  ob- 
servatieus  I  made  during;  5  years  cruisieg  on  the  American  coast,  I  nev«  r  luund 
this  eastern  current  to  the  Htulhwurd  of  lulilude  3'J",and  only  once  (the  above- 
mentioned  time,  so  far;)  it  p;eiirriilly  prevailing  bctut  en  the  latitudes  of  37" 
and  M",  from  the  lonsitudc  of  iiO"  to  that  of  (30'=.  And  I  have  often,  about 
tile  latitude  of  bt"  or  37",  and  about  the  above  lon^'itiide,  found  a  strong  cur- 
rent to  the  koutli  and  S.  W.  Therefore,  thips  from  Europe,  bound  to  America, 
should  ead( avour  to  niike  liie  paKsnse  either  to  the  souihward  of  latitude  37", 
or  to  the  northward  of  lalitudc  Mf;  that  is  to  sny,  when  as  fur,  or  to  the  wi+t- 
wardof  the  Banks  of  Newfoundland,  they  should  as  nuich  as  poi^sil  le  avo'd 
beatin<i  a<j:iiijst  the  wind  to  iJie  westward,  betwetu  the  latitudes  of  37°  and  40". 

Ufjon  soundings,  along  the  coai.ts()fG(;or«:ia,  Carolina,  Virjjinia,  New-.Iersey, 
and  New  York,  the  current  runs  in  general  p;irall(l  to  the  shore ;  ar.d  is,  in  gen- 
eral, influent  oil  by  the  wind,  which  mostly  prevails  from  between  the  south  autl 
west,  producing  a  hlow  curr(  it  of  abbiit  one  or  a  half  knot  to  the  N.  K.  but 
whcu  the  N.  and  east  winds  prevail,  the  current  along  shore  to  the  S.  W.  will 
frequently  run  two  knots;  o;i  which  the  pilots  of  this  cuast  remark,  that  the 
south  andS.  W.  cnrr  nts,  tlioujih  they  but  s)  Idnm  happen,  yei  they  are  always 
stronger  th  .  i  those  to  ther.ortnwurd,  wliich  are  more  frequent.  It  is  probuldt; 
the  tides  may  have  some  iii*!uence  en  these  currents,  particularly  ri<  ar  the  eutry 
of  the  great  b:iys  and  iidefs.  The  flood  on  tiiis  roast  comes  from  the  N.  E.  In 
the  mo'ntlu  of  April  and  M;iy  I  have  observed,  on  crossing  the  Gulf  Stream, 
in  the  latitude  of  Capr-Ilecry,  that,  when  n<ar  the  inside  of  the  stream,  the  water 
begins  to  colour  of  a  deeper  g/eeu ;  an<l  thence  to  the  edge  of  foundings,  there  is 
a  strong  current  to  the  eattward.  The  colour  of  the  water,  from  green,  lurirs 
to  muddy,  w  lion  on  soundings,  the  current  still  continuing  until  within  the  influ- 
ence of  the  tidr: ;  this  enstern  current  is,  no  doubt,  occasioned  by  the  oischarge 
of  water  out  of  the  Ches;ipe:ik,  by  the  floods  from  the  snow  melting  in  the 
cotuUiy;  and  it  prevail.-,  in  same  drgrre,  throii<!hont  the  year,  but  its  eflVct  i» 
greatest  at  this  time.  It  is  piobable  that  a  similar  current  prevails  off  the 
Hi;;uth  of  the  Delaware. 

Rou'id  the  east  end  rf  Leng  Island,  and  thence  to  the  eastward  round  Nan- 
tucket Shoals,  across  Georgt  's  Baidi,  to  Ca|)e  S:ih!e,  a  strong  tide  runs ;  the  flood 
setting  to  the  noit'.i  and  w«t,  in  order  to  fdl  up  the  bays,  rivere,  and  inlets,  and 
the  ebb  the  contrary.  The  tides  th.^t  set  across  George's  Bank  into  the  bay  of 
Fandy  are  very  much  influenced  by  the  Avinds,  part'cuhrly  if,  after  atfrotigS. 
or  S.  E.  wind,  it  shoidd  suddi  i  ly  chanse  to  W.  or  N.  W.  (circumstances  that

Hiuif  fie«|uenl  fioin  the  eahtnard  thuti  from  the  westttnr«l,  particularly  in  the

ill  forcing  them  oil' the  there.  A  regular  title  here  runs  along  sliorc  j  the  Hood 
fiom  E.  N.  E. 

We  shall  ceiiclude  this  section  with  the  observationg  on  the  Culf-Strenm, 
&c.  by  Stir  Charles  IJIagden,  M.  D.  and  V.  U.  S.  extracted  from  the  philos-o- 
phicul  traiigactiuns. 

•'  During  a  voyage  to  America,  in  the  spring  of  the  year  1 7  70, 1  iise«l  frequent- 
ly to  examine  the  beat  of  sea-water  newly  <lrawn,  in  order  lo  coiiip.irc  it  wilb 
that  of  the  air.  We  made  our  pai-^age  far  to  the  southward.  In  tliis  situttioii, 
the  i^reatest  heat  of  the  water,  which  I  ol>erved,  was  such  as  raised  the  quick- 
silver in  I'arenheit's  thirmunieti  r,  to  77^  de<:rees.  I  his  happened  twice  ;  the 
firtt  time  on  the  10th  (.1  April,  ui  latitude  21  10'  N.  and  longitude,  by  our 
leckouing,  52**  W.  and  the  sicoiid  time,  three  days  aflcrwiuds,  hi  latitude  2!:* 
7',  ai!<l  longitude  5.0°  ;  but  in  general  the  heat  of  the  sea,  itcar  the  tropic  of 
Cancer,  about  the  middle  of  April,  was  from  7ti  to  'i'>°. 

"  The  rendezvous  i  ppointed  for  the  lleet  being  off  Cape  Fear,  our  course,  oa 
approaching  the  Americnn  const,  became  nortb-wet-t  ward.  On  tlie  23d*  of  April, 
the  heat  of  the  sea  was  7-1°;  our  latitude,  at  noon,  28°  7'  N.  Next  dfiy  th« 
heat  was  only  71°;  we  wen;  then  in  lalitudc  2&°  12' ;  tlic  lient  of  ll»e  water, 
therefore,  was  now  le^seniug  very  fast,  in  proportion  lo  the  change  of  iati'tnlc. 
The  25th,  our  latitude  was  31°  3' ;  but  though  we  had  thus  gone  almost  2°  far- 
ther to  the  northward,  the  heat  of  the  sea  was  this  day  increased,  it  being  72°  iu 
the  morning,  and  724°  '"  '•'<!  evening.  Next  day,  the  2tithof  April,  at  half  af- 
ter eight  in  the  morning,  I  again  p!uiip;rd  the  tliermometer  into  sea  water,  and 
Avas  greatly  surprised  to  see  the  quicksilver  rise  to  78°,  higher  thau  I  had  ever 
observed  it,  even  within  the  tropic.  As  the  difference  was  too  great  to  be  impu- 
ted to  aay  accidental  variation,  I  imniediately  conceived  that  we  must  havecome 
into  Ihe  Gulf-Stream,  the  water  of  wbich  still  retained  great  part  of  the  heat  that 
it  had  acquired  iu  the  torrid  zone.  This  idea  was  confirmed  by  the  subsequent, 
regular  and  quick  diniinutiou  <»f  the  heat :  the  8hi|>'s  run  for  a  quarter  of  au 
hour  had  lesseoed  it  2" ;  the  thermometer,  at  three  qnaittrs  after  eight,  belns; 
raired  by  sea-water  frrsli  drawn,  only  to  7t^'  ;  by  nine  the  heat  was  reduced  tu 
73* ;  and,  io  a  quarter  of  an  hour  more,  to  71  °  nearly  :  all  this  time  the  wind 
blew  fresli,  and  we  were  goiug  seven  knots  an  hour  on  a  north-wrstcrn  course. 
The  water  now  began  to  iwe  the  fine  ti-ansparent  blue  colour  of  the  ocean,  and 
to  BEsume  spHiethinj;  of  a  greenisli  olive  tinge,  a  well  known  indication  of  sound- 
ings. Accordingly,  between  four  and  five  in  the  afternoon,  ground  was  struck 
with  the  lead,  at  the  depth  of  eighty  fothonis,  the  h<  at  of  the  sea  beiog  then  re- 
duced to  69**..  In  the  course  of  the  following  wight  aud  next  day,  as  we  came  in 
to  shallower  water  and  nearer  the  land,  the  temfwraturc  of  tlie  sea  gradually 
sank  to  05",  which  was  i;early  tlwt  of  the  air  at  the  time. 

Unfortunately,  bad  weatlier,  on  tlie  S6lh,  prevented  us  from  taking  an  obieri 
vationuf  the  mo;  but, on  the  27th,  though  it  was  then  cloudy  at  noon,  we  cal- 
culated the  latitude  from  two  altitudes,  aud  found  it  to  be  33°  26'  N.  The  di'- 
ferenceof  this  latitude  fiom  that  which  we  had  observed  on  the  25th,  being  2° 
23'  was  so  much  ^eater  th&n  could  be  deduced  from  the  ship's  run,  marked  in 
tlie  log  book,  as  to  convince  tlie  eeainen  that  we  had  beeu  set  many  miles  to  the 
uorthwar<l  by  the  current. 

On  the  25t1i,  at  noon,  the  longitude  by  our  reckoning,  was  7.1°  W.  and  I  be- 
Ueve  the  compDtaiion  to  have  been  pretty  just ;  but  the  soundings,  together  with 
the  latitude,  will  determine  tbe  spot  where  these  observations  were  made,  better 
thau  any  i«ckoning  from  the  eastward.     TIte -ship's  run,  on  the  26lh,  from  nine 

•  Frntn  the  difference  liti  ween  .civil  and  astronomical  Umn,  it  beeoDSM  necessary  t*  eife- 
4>rve  Uut  tbe  former  is  always  meont  in  this  wort.

the  stream,  therefore,  in  its  whole  course  from  the  Gulf  of  Florida,  may  be  sup-

the  trade-wiin'  ,  which  water,  not  having  been  near  any  land,  must.  I  think,  be  sensibly  col-

vations made  by  Alexander  Dalrymple,  Ksq.  relative  to  the  heat  of  the  sea  near  the  coast,'

poutliwiuH  ;  the  (emperaliirc  of  tlie  sen  continued  nearly  at  OS".  Next  day, 
the  .'iotli,  oiirlititude  at  noon  was  .35°  44' only  18  miles  farthei  to  the  Foutli- 
wai-(i.  ;hou<:h,  in  the  opinio')  of  tlie  Keamen  aboard,  as  well  as  niy  own.  it  had 
blown  at  Ic-wt  ai^  hard  on  (his  as  on  any  of  the  preceding  dayr,  and  uc  had  not 
b('(  n  ahh;  to  carry  more  sail ;  consequoi.tly  it  may  h«;  roncln>!eil  that,  vomc  cur- 
i'eiit  had  set  the  ssliip  '10  miles  to  the  tiorthw  ird.  To  know  whetlnr  tl)i»  was  the 
<lulf»Slieam,  let  us  consult  the  (lu rmometer.  At  half  afier  iiine  in  the  fore- 
iHton  of  this  day,  the  heat  of  (lie  water  was  70°,  no  less  lli.iu  1 1**  above  (he  tern- 
jji-ralure  of  the  sea  before  wccame  into  the  current! 

Tovvards  evening  the  wind  fell,  and  we  stood  N.  \V.  by  N.  close  hauled.  As 
(he  sea  still  ran  very  hi;;!',  and  the  ship  scarcely  wont  above  2  kno(«  an  hour,  we 
did  not  innkc  less  than  3  poinds  of  l);e  way  on  (hi8(ack;  (he  course  we  made({ooH, 
iherelore,  was  W.  N.  W  wliioli,  on  the  distance  run  by  noon  next  day,  jjave  ut^ 
hIm'iK  10  miles  oinorlliing  ;  but  that  day,  the  Ist.  of  October,  our  latitude  was 
3t}°  22'  SH  miles  farther  to  the  north  than  w  had  bocti  the  day  before  ;  (he  dif. 
ferei^ce,  22  miles,  must  he  attributed  to  the  Oulf-StieHin.  This,  however,  U 
only  part  of  the  efltct  which  the  current  would  have  produced  upoo  the  ship,  if 
we  had  continued  in  it  the  whole  four  and  twenty  hours ;  for  though  we  were  otill 
in  the  stream  nt  five  in  the  afternoon  of  the  30th,  as  appeared  by  the  heat  of  (he 
ivBler  bein<;  (hen  abu\-c  73",  and  at  eight  in  the  evening;  the  heat  being  still  74*^ 
yet  by  seven  the  next  morning  we  had  certainly  got  ch  ar  of  it,  the  heal  of  the 
sea  being  then  reduced  to  its  former  8(audard  of  65".  On  this  occasion,  thereat 
fore,  we  did  not  crosii  the  stream,  buU  having  fallen  in  with  it  obliquely  on  the 
we9ternsidc,  we  pushed  out  again  on  the  same  sitle,  as  soon  as  the  gale  abated. 

These  observations  having  been  made  3°  to  (he  mnlhwardof  my  former  ones, 
it  is  curious  to  obFcrve,  (hat  the  heat  of  the  Gulf-8treain  was  2"  'cm.  The  sea- 
so  IS  of  the  year,  indeed,  were  very  difTereut;  but,  perhap8,-under  such  circum- 
gtanres,  iUii  their  eflfects  were  nearly  balanced.  In  the  latter  observations  (be 
nieridian  alti'ude  of  the  sun  was  less  ;  Iwit  then  a  hot  summer  preceded  them  : 
whereas  in  the  former,  (bough  the  sun's  power  was  become  very  great,  yet  (he 
winter  had  been  past  but  a  short  time.  Calculating  upon  thii  proportion,  we 
may  be  led  to  suspect,  that,  about  the  27th  degree  of  lati'ude,  which  is  as  soon 
as  the  St*  earn  has  got  clear  of  the  Gulf  uf  Florida,  it  begins  sensibly  to  loFe  its 
heat  from  82°,  the  sup|)oscd  lemperaliire  of  the  0((lf  of  Mexico,  and  continues 
to  lose  it  at  the  rate  of  about  2*  of  Fahrenheit's  scale  to  every  3°  of  latitude, 
with  some  variation,  pivbnbly,  as  the  surrounding  sea  and  the  air  are  warmer 
or  colder  at  difierent  seasons  of  the  year. 

The  preceding  facts  had  made  me  very  desirous  of  observing  (he  heat  of  the 
Clu1f-S(reRm  on  my  passage  homeward :  but  a  violent  gale  of  wind,  which  came 
«a  two  days  after  we  had  sailed  fron  Sandy  Hooli:,'  disabled  eveiy  persoo  ob

In  the  mean  time,  I  hope,  the  olwervations  which  have  l)een  licre  related  nir 

MiiQcieiit  to  prove  that,  in  crositinjr  the  Onlf-Slieam,  very  exsential  advaiitH<;i» 

may  i>e  derived  from  the  use  of  the  th<!ri!nmi"ter :  for,  if  the  master  of  a  Hhip, 

Wind  to  any  of  ihe  Boutiicrii  proviiicei<  of  Xo  tli  America,  will  be  careful  to  try 

the  bent  of  ihe  f-ea  frequently,  he  iiiiH  discover  very  accurately  his  entrance 

into  the  (rulf-Stream  by  the  Midden  iiiereasu  of  the  heat;  and  a  con'iniiance  of 

the  ttamc  expi-rimeiits  will  show  him,  with  equal  cxantnegB,  liow  lonj;  he  remains 

in  it.     ileuce  he  will  always  be  able  to  m.ike  a  proper  allnrancc  tor  the  niim 

lH:r  of  miles  that  the  ship  is  set  to  the  iiordiward,  by  multiplying  the  time  Into 

the  velocity  of  the  curriMit.     Thou<);li  this  vcloeiiy  is  hitherto  very  imperfectly 

known,  from  Maul  of  some  method  of  determining;  how  |ou;:i;  the  turreiit  acted 

upon  the  shipK,  yet  all  uncertainty  arisin*;  from  thence  must  soon  cease,  ns  a  few 

experiments  upon  the  heat  of  the  stream,  comprircd  with  the  ship's  run,  checked 

hy  observations  of  the  latitude,  will  ascertain  it^  motion  with  sufticient  |)recision. 

trom  diirereiu:c8  in  the  wind,  and  perhaps  other  rircumstances,  it  is  probaldqi 

that,  there  may  be  f>ome  variations  in  the  velocity  of  the  current;  and  it  will  be 

curious  to  observe,  whetlier  these  variations  may  not  frequently  he  pointed  out 

by  a  diflerencc  in  its  temperature ;  as  the  quicker  the  current  moves,  the  le;^ 

heat  is  likely  to  be  lost,  and,  consequently,  the  hotter  will  the  water  be.     In  this 

observation,  however,  the  season  of  the  year  must  always  be  considered  ;  partly, 

because  it  may,  perhaps,  in  some  decree,  affect  the  original  temperature  of  the 

irater  in  the  Gulf  of  Mexico)  but,  principally,  because  the  actual  heat  of  tlie 

stream  must  be  greater  or  less  in  proportion  as  the  tract  of  the  sea,  throu{3;li  which 

it  has  flown,  was  warmer  or  colder.     In  winter,  I  should  suppose  that,  the  heat 

of  the  stream  itself  would  be  rather  less  than  in  summer;  but  that  the  difference 

between  it  and  the  surrounding  sea  would  be  much  greater ;  and  I  conceive  that, 

in  the  middle  of  summer,  though  the  stream  had  lost  very  little  of  its  or'?;inal 

heat,  yet  the  sea  might,  in  some  parts,  acquire  so  nearly  the  same  temperature, 

as  to  render  it  scarcely  possible  to  (listinguish  by  the  tliermomctcr  when  a  ship 

entered  into  the  current. 

Besides  the  convenience  of  correcting  a  ship's  course,  by  knowin<;  how  to  make 
a  proper  allowaucr  for  the  distance  she  is  set  to  the  northward  by  the  current,  a 
method  of  determining  with  certainty  when  she  enters  into  the  Gulf-Stream  is 
attended  with  the  farther  inestimable  advantage  of  shewing  her  pl^ce  upon  the 
9ccao  in  the  most  critical  eituatioo :  fur,  as  the  current  sets  along  the  coa$l  ol

"  MY  voyage  f.-om  New-York  to  Halifax,  in  the  Uritish  Packet  Kliza,  wan 
so  very  tempcsliioiis  and  uiifoitunate  (havinj?  carried  away  our  foremast,)  that  I 
did  not  make  any  Tlieimomelrical  observations;  but  when  we  sailed  from  Hali- 
U\  on  the  27th  of  April,  I  began  them,  and  continued  till  I  unfortunately  broke 
l.olii  my  Thermometers.  However  short  the  lime  was,  you  will  perceive  that 
iwy  observation*  have  been  very  important,  and  I  herewith  send  the  result  of 
I  Iwm.  You  will  perceive  with  what  fidelity  the  thermometer  lodlcatcd  the  banks 
:.nd  the  approximation  towards  islands  of  Ice.  The  captain  was  so  convinced 
»)f  the  usefulness  of  the  Thermometer,  that  he  made  regular  remarks,  and  Insert- 
tbem  ill  his  journal.  I  gave  him  dne  of  your  books,  thinking  it  would  be  pleas- 
ing to  you  that  I  should  exte.d  the  knowledge  of  a  discovery  so  useful  as  yours, 
a.S  I  wish  it  were  more  generally  known.  After  having  miraculously  cheapen 
the  isLiiids  of  Ice  and  several  severe  gales  wc  arrived  at  Falmouth  on  the  22<J 
(jfMay,  1810.

Ai^gustiiic,  the  shore  is  bold  ;  yoii  will  have  5  or  6  fatjioins  wUliiri  half  a  mile  of 
iiic  shore.  When  yoii  arc  abreast  of  1*01111  Cartcol,  you  will  open  St.  Augustine's 
bay.  When  St.  Augustine's  fort,  which  is  lar«ie  ami  wWle,  hears  W.  by  N.dis- 
t.i  t  8  iles,  you  will  have  about  7f  JHthoins  vrater.  Before  St.  Augustine  lits 
till'  uorth  end  of  the  island  St.  Atmstatia. 

St.  Augustine's  bar  is  formed  by  the  exlreitiity  of  a  narrow  sand,  which  e\- 
tends  2  miles  E.  S,  K.  from  point  CarteeK  and  the  point  of  another  sand  whiclt 
extends  half  a  mile  E.  by  N  from  the  N.  E.  point  ot'  St.  Anastatia  island.  Th'm 
bar  is  a  little  move  than  a  quarter  of  a  mile  wiiie,  with  a  small  bhoul  lyini;  in 
the  middle,  which  divides  it  into  two  channels,  called  the  North  and  Soutli 
biirs;  there  are  not  more  than  12  feet  on  either  of  them  at  high  water,  sprint 
tides.  Ou  the  north  end  of  St.  Anastatia  island,  there  is  a  luoX-out  house,, 
which  appears  like  a  light-house. 

Mataiiza  inlet  lies  U.S.  £.  i  E.  about  6  leagttrs  from  St.  Augustine's  bar. 
Ttii^  inlet  is  at  the  south  end  of  Ht.  Anastalia  island;  there  are  only  8f  feet 
on  the  shoalest  part  of  the  bar  at  hi»h  water.  Vessels  tfmt  go  in  at  this  inlet, 
may  procee<l  between  St.  Anastatia's  island  and  tiie  main,  to  St.  Augustine ;. 
on  the  south  end  of  this  island  there  is  also  a  look-out  house.  The  tide  Hows 
at  both  ends  of  the  island,  ou  the  change  and  full  days  of  the  moon,  half  past 
7  o'clock. 

Cape  Canaverel  lies  S*  S.  E.  2-1  leagues  from  Matanza  inlet;  between  them 
lies  Moskito  inlet,  or  New  Smyrna  entrance ;  it  is  about  II  ieigues  N.N.  W. 
]f  W.  from  Cape  Canaverel.  The  shore  all  the  way  from  Matanza  inlet  to 
the  cape,  is  bold,  excepting  a  rocky  shoal,  which  extends  1|  mile  from  the 
shore,  about  five  miles  to  the  southwani  of  Matanza  inlet. 

From  Cape  Canaverel  some  rocky  shoals  extend  E.  about  6  leagues;  their 
breadth,  from  south  to  north,  is  about  5  •  leagues.  The  N.  K.  extremity  lies  4|. 
Icagties  N.  E.  i  E.  from  the  cape  ;  ami  the  S.  E.  extremity  lies  S.  E.  by  E.  ^ 
E.  3  J  leagues.  Nrar  tothem  on  the  south  side,  there  are  4  fathoms;  and  near 
to  them  without,  or  on  the  east  side,  there  are  9  fathoms. 

The  notthernmost  part  of  Maranilla  reef  bears  E.  by  S.  from  Cape  Canave- 
rel. Near  to  these  shoals  on  the  north  side,  there  are  5  fathoms  water,  bearing 
S.  E.  by  E.  distant  26  leagues.  Memory  rock  bears  S.  S.  E.  4  S.  distant  28 
Icagires  from  tl>e  cape,  and  25  leagues  S.  S.  E.  |  E.  from  the  easternmost  part 
of  'he  siioals  which  lie  off  the  cape. 

Aioiit  18  leagups  S.  by  E.  from  Cape  Canaverel  ig  Ayes  inlet,  now  called 
II  I'.sborcngh  inlet;  the  land  between  them  is  curved;  near  to  the  shore  in  the 
bite,  tliere  are  some  rocks.  Between  the  cape  and  this  inlet,  there  are  2,  3,  4, 
5.  (5,  7,  and  8  fathoms  water.  From  Hillsborough  inlet  to  the  S.  E.  part  of 
tlie  sh'inl  ,  which  He  off  Cape  Canaverel,  your  coiin-e  is  N.  by  E.  and  the  dis- 
ta'ice  13i  leagues,  between  them  there  are'  10  fathoms  water.  Memory  rock 
lies  10'  leagues  E.  S.  E.  from  Hillsborough   inlet. 

From  Cape  Ca  a  vote  I  to  Biscaina  is'e,  the  coast  lies  nearly  south,  and  tlie 
dis'  nee  it>  abiiut  54  leagues.  From  Biscaina  isle  to  Cape  Largo,  the  cons!  ruiia 
poitih-wfsterly;  and  from  Cape  Largo  to  Cape  Florida,  it  runs  S.  by  W.  and 
S.  S,  W. 

Maiaiiilla  f  ef  is  the  north  end  of  the  Little  Bahama  Bank.  As  the  flood 
tid(>  sets  in  on  every  part  of  thieend  of  the  bank,  it  is  exceedingly  dangerous. 

About  12  Se.igties  S.  by  W.  iVoin  Memory  bank  lies  Seal  key  ;  this  key  lies 
off  the  no-t!i  tnl  of  the  Balmini  island:  this  is  a  long  narrow  island,  stretch- 
inj;  about  S.  E.  by  E.  and  N.  W.  by  W.  23  Ijagues:  it  is  rocky  from  one  end

long.  78*  1'  VV.  (the  northenimost  of  ihc  Berry  iskiiids,)  which  you  will  leave 
on  your  larboard  hantl.  From  Stiriup's  Key  steer  W.  S.  W.  till  you  neJirly 
leave  eiijsht  of  them  from  otT  deck ;  then  steer  S.  W.  \  S.  till  yon  dee|)en  your 
water  and  have  soft  bottom,  (which  will  be  about  9  leagues.)  when  you  mubt 
steer  S.S.W.  8  leagues,  wli-cli  will  carry  you  to  the  (2)  Biding  Rocks,  that 
you  must  leave  on  your  starboard  baud.  You  may  then  go  oil' the  bunk  if  yo«i 
think  proper.  Should  you  go  oil'  the  bank  in  the  night,  steer  W.  S.  W.  if  the 
wind  is  to  the  northward ;  and  if  to  the  southward  of  s.  E.  steer  higher  to  avoid 
the  current,  which  sets  to  the  N.  W.  If  you  do  not  sec  the  Double-headed  Sliot 
Keys  in  time,  you  must  haul  up  more  to  sec  them.  I  would  not  advise  you  to 
TO  oflf  the  Bank  before  12  o'clock  at  night. 

OTHER  DJRECTIOXS. 

SHOULD  you  give  Stirrup's  Key  a  birth  of  half  a  mile,  and  steer  W>.  S.  \V. 
till  it  can  be  just  discovered  from  deck,  and  then  steer  S.  W.  by  S.  2tJ  leagues, 
you  will  make  the (3)  Orange  Keys  on  your  staiboari)  bow;  your  course  fi«ni 
that  to  the  Double-headed  Shot  Keys,  is  S.  W.  by  W.  and  the  distance  19 
leagues.  From  the  Double-heatlcd  Shot  Keys  to  Matanzas,  the  course  is  S.  W. 
by  W.  distant  23  leagues.  The  course  from  Double  headed  Shot  Keys  to  tlte 
Havanna  is  VV.  S.  W.  distance  43  lenguet>. 

If  bound  into  Havanna,  run  close  on  board  the  Mora,  (which  lies  on  the  lar- 
board hand,)  anr«  st'ind  up  for  the  shipping,  there  being  nothing  to  hu|t  you.  Be 
sure  not  to  lei  g.-^  ~ur  anchor  till  well  in  the  harbour,  as  a  reef  lies  on  the  star- 
board hand,  a  ii  '  "'5* '  the  harbour,  which  is  very  dangerous.  The  set  of 
the  current  belt  :^n  ;<  'anna  and  Double-hcaHed  Shot  Keys  is  N.  E.  byE. 
and  close  to  the  L-a^ii.-headed  Shot  Kej  s  it  sets  N.E. 

From  the  Hole  in  the  Wall  to  Stirrup's  Key,  the  course  is  W.  ^S.  distance 
about  12  leagues.  From  this  you  steer  S.  W.  about  8  leagues  to  the  souu^lings 
on  the  bank;  then  steer  S.  W.  by  S.  for  Orange  Key,  or  continue  your  S.  W. 
until  you  iudge  yourself  half  way  over  the  bank,  then  steer  S.  W.  J  S.  for  tlie 
Riding  Rocks,  and  leave  them  on  the  stai board  hand,  which  will  carry  you 
clear. "  Do  not  leaVe  the  bank  in  the  night. 

N.  B.  Should  you  sail  for  the  before-mentioned  Keys  in  the  night,  by  a'l 
means  keep  clear  of  them ;  they  are  a  number  of  bare  rocks,  perhaps  an  hundred, 
or  an  hundred  and  twenty,  about  the  size  of  a  vessel,  and  some  less;  but  in  ge- 
neral, there  is  water  plenty  between  them,  and  abotit  them.  S.  by  E.  about  6  or 
7  leagues  from  the  Double-headed  "hot  Keys,  is  Key  Sal,  so  called,  becauFe  the 
Spaniards  make  salt  there,  and  about  which  are  several  sunken  rocks.    The 

(1)    To  the  westward  of  Stirrup's  Key,  is  a  tongiis  of  ocean  water,  shooting  into  the 

RbiiIc* 

f<V\  The  Biding  Rocks  are  bare  of  bushes,  and  appear  like  wrecks ;  the  Spaniards  caH 
them  los  Membres.  S.  W.  by  S.  aliout  7  miles  distant  from  the  sonihernmost,  is  a  shoal,  on 
which  a  very  rich  Spanish  galloon  struck  in  1765  ;  lier  bottom  now  lies  about  E.  or  E.  by 
S.7  or  8  miles  from  the  shoal  in  17  feet  water.  .«„,.». 

(S)  S  W  from  Orange  Key,  5  or  6  miles  distant,  is  good  ancnomge  in  tO  ratborat  water. 
When  UD  with  this  bank  a  passage  is  secured  throufrh  the  Gulf;  for  then  you  may  make 
sail  either  in  the  moniing  or  at  midnight.  steerinK  S.  W.  10  or  11  Iwgues,  that  will  enable 
vou  to  fall  in  with  Key  Sal  Bank,  which  for  10  leagues  on  the  N.  side  stretches  B.  and  W. 
and  consequently,  the  current  sets  stronger  as  you  come  to  the  westward.  In  coming  over 
you  have  good  soundings  all  along  by  it.  There  isanchMage  by  spots  all  the  way  in,  but 
the  soundings  are  narrow  nt  the  Double-headed  i'biot,  the  N.  W.  paint  of  which  lies  in  hi,

ly seen  from  the  ini>st-liead,  in  the  da) -time.  I'here  is  a  large  bank  of  brown  coral  rocl(«. 
fiitri  mixed  will)  white  pntuties  of  sand,  about  .'i  or  6  miles  to  westward  of  the  'i'ortugas,  and

to  r<  frtlboiiis  between  this  bank  and  the  Tortugas. 

Jf  you  are  bound  eastward,  mid  meet  with  u  stntng  easterly  gale,  which  is  frequent  tliere 
in  the  suiiiiiier  seusim,  you  may  safely  oonie  to  anchor  in  5  or  6  fathoms,  under  the  lee  of 
the  Long  Sandy  Island  to  the  noithward  of  the  ^outb-West  liey,  about  \  mile  off  shore. 

'i'lie  bank  of  soundings  extends  about  r*  or  G  leagueii  to  the  southward  of  the  Tortugas, 
but  iiMieli  fiirtlicr  to  westward,  and  all  ibe  way  to  northward  along  the  Florida  shore.  'J'bis 
is  a  lucky  circumstance  for  the  safely  of  navigation  in  those  parts,  as  caution  in  soiindinr 
may  prevent  any  danger  in  the  night  time ;  for  tiie  stmndings  ai-e  extremely  regular  on

ens  fast  to  70,  80,  and  sorin  after  to  no  ground. 

There  is  a  broad  channel  over  the  bank  to  tlie  eastward  of  ttie  Tortugas,  of  10  to  17  fa> 
thorns,  which  in  going  to  and  fi-om  the  const  of  West  Florida,  ^c.  might  occasionally  cut  olf 
a  great  Heal  of  tne  distance;  but  that  passage  is  by  no  means  to  be  ntieiupted  unless  yon 
can  see  the  Tortugas  distinctly,  and  keep  within  3  or  .S  leagues  of  the  easternmost  of  them ; 
as  there  is  a  coral  bank  of  only  it  A'.et,  at  the  distance  of  5  leagues ;  and  furtler  on  towards 
Cayo  Marques,  (Marquis  Keys,)  the  westernmost  of  the  Florida  Keys,  there  is  a  very  dan- 
gerous and  e^^tepsive  bank  of  quicksand,  on  many  parts  of  which  there  is  no  more  than  4  or

it  has  the  appearance  of  rocks,  the  river  water  being  of  a  milky  colour,  while 
Uie  other  is  quite  dark,  and  changes  suddenly. 

On  the  setting  of  the  Current. 

THE  nirrent  sets  with  very  little  variation  to  the  east;  and  when  any  varia 
tiou  itt  f  xperienrcd,  it  is  either  to  th«:  north  or  south  of  the  rivers  mouth.  It  is 
very  evident  to  every  man  of  reflection,  that  so  larg^  a  column  of  water  rushing 
into  the  ocean,  most  si.rea<l  when  it  is  no  loiMjer  confined,  and  produce  dilferenl 
currents,  until  it  has  found  its  level,  and  will  be  found  to  vary  from  the  original 
course  iu  proportion  as  you  approach  the  edges ;  allowing  the  current  to  set  due 
«iMt,  I  have  known  two  ships  to  come  into  the  river  at  the  same  time,  and  the 
«TC  complain  of  a  southerly  and  the  other  of  a  uortheriy  current,  and  that  be- 
c  uise  the  one  had  been  to  the  south  and  the  other  to  the  north  of  the  river's 
mouth;  however,  as  every  stranger  should  get  into  the  proper  lat.  before  he 
comes  within  the  influence  of  its  current  I  <to  uot  think  it  necessary  to  say 
auy  thing  more  on  that  subject. 

Directions  for  the  entrance  qf  tlie  River. 

"WHEN  you  have  got  sight  of  the  Balizc,  or  Look-out-house,  bring  it  to  bear 
W.  N.  W.  and  run  for  it,  and  that  will  bring  you  up  to  the  bar.  If  you  see  no 
pilot,  (which  is  too  often  tlie  case,)  you  may  run  with  your  anchors  ready  to  let 
go,  into  «  fathoms  water  with  safety ;  and  though  it  should  blow  hard  from  tlie 
south-cast,  you  will  ride  witliout  much  strain  on  your  cables. 

To  sail  up  the  River. 

IN  sailing  up  the  river,  if  you  have  a  fair  wind,  nm  from  point  to  point,  care- 
fully avoiding  the  bends,  and*  by  di.ing  so,  you  will  shorten  the  distance,  have 
less  current,  ae)d  what  is  of  more  consequence,  you  will  avoid  the  danger  of  hav- 
ins  your  vessel  sunk  by  the  trees  which  frequently  lie  under  water.  As  you  are 
coming  up  to,  and  passing  a  point,  it  will  be  well  to  heave  a  cast  of  the  lead ; 
with  light  winds,  or  wlieu  the  wind  is  scant,  always  keep  on  the  leewajd  side  of 
tlie  river.  ."  '"^, ''''-':-' -r' ' 

On  coming  too  or  bringing  up. 

EVERY  vessel,  while  in  the  river,  should  have  their  boat  along  side,  with 
a  pood  hawser  in  it,  according  to  the  size  of  the  ship,  ready  to  run  out  to  a  tree, 
which  method  of  bringing  up  is  always  preferable  to  letting  go  an  anchor,  for 
you  are  sooner  under  way,  and  avoid  tlie  danger  of  loosing  your  anchors. 

Every  vessel,  while  in  the  river,  should  have  a  haulabout  block  lashed  under 
the  bowsprit  to  reeve  a  rope  through,  which  rope  should  be  beut  to  the  crown 
of  the  anchor,  in  the  same  way  as  a  buoy  rope,  and  be  strong  enough  to  weigh 
it;  the  crown  line  should  be  of  length  suflTicient  that  when  the  anchor  is  let  go, 
you  may  veer  it  away  with  the  cable  and  always  have  the  end  on  board,  as  by 
this  means,  if  you  should  get  foul  of  any  thing  with  your  anchor,  (which  fre- 
quently happens,)  you  will  get  it  again;  otherwise  you  will  be  obliged  to  cut 
your  cable  and  lose  your  anchor.    If  you  art  obliged  to  let  go  anchor,  ^^  it)

If  poiihible,  be  at  a  point,  for  you  will  be  more  likely  to  find  clear  bottom.  Iq 
Ibt;  bitiidn  the  boiiim  is  always  fi>ul,  being  lull  of  ttuii  ken  trees,  and  there  are 
f(;w  iiihtaiiceH  where  uu  anchor  need  be  let  go  iu  the  beuUs,  becauM:  you  oiajr

Shoals  in  the  River. 

AnOUT  three  miles  above  the  Look-out  house,  ami  opposite  what  is  ctlled 
the  i'aH  Aux  Cuuireh,  (one  uf  the  outlets  of  the  river,)  tliere  is  a  flat  mikea 
out  full  half  wity  over  tlic  river;  this  i>liould  be  avuide<l  by  keeping  near  tiie 
paf«,  into  which  you  iiiui>t  lake  care  not  to  get  drifted  :  this  is  what  may  be 
called  tlie  first  shoal ;  the  next  is  about  seveu  niilev  above  the  Fort  at  Plaque- 
initir,  on  the  larboard  side  of  the  river  as  you  are  coming  up;  to  avoid  it  }ou 
must  ktep  nearer  to  the  marsh  on  the  stariMard  aide :  the  marsh  is  the  fii-st 
laud  you  ("ome  to  after  kaving  Plaquemiue  without  trees;  hct'e  the  land  is  very 
narrow,  and  by  going  a  few  titrps  up  the  shrouds,  you  may  see  the  sea  at  not 
more  than  a  musket  shot  distance ;  by  these  marks  you  may  know  when  you 
are  coiiiing  up  with  the  slioal.  The  Fort  lies  opposite  the  marsh,  and  ruua 
full  one  third  of  the  w.iy  over ;  tiiese  are  the  only  bhoalg  that  may  be  culled 
dangerous,  but  as  I  have  before  observed,  the  lead  shuujd  be  cast  whenever 
jou  afe  approaching  a  jwint. 

Directions /or  Vessels  lound  thum  the  River*    t 

VESSELS  going  down  the  river,  should  always  have  sufllcicnt  sail  on  then 
to  be  aide  to  keep  clear  of  the  shore ;  without  great  care  you  will  be  driven 
into  the  beuds  and  lose  your  rudder,  and  this  has  frequently  happened  with  ez- 
pericuced  seamen  {  I  would  observe  also,  that  every  vessel,  uulesa  the  lyiud  b 
fair  and  settled  weather,  should  bring  too  at  sun-set. 

Directioiis  for  Vessds  bound  from  the  Mississippi  thr0ugh  the 

Gulph. 

EVERY  vessel  bound  through  the  Oulph,  on  leavii^  tlie  river,  should 

avoid  getting  too  fast  In  the  southward,  for  you  will  meet  with  the  trade  wind, 
and  by  that  means  lengthen  your  passages.  If  the  wind  will  permit,  you  should 
eteer  E.  S.  E.  which  course  will  carry  you  soon  enough  into  ttie  Urade  wind. 
If  you  can  get  soundings  to  the  northward  of  the  Turtiigas,  so  much  the  better, 
but  you  Ehould  come  no  nearer  in  than  50  fathoms^  and  should  then  steer  south, 
and  if  you  sliould  find  the  water  shoaler,  in  this  course,  you  should  Jqiep  a  little 
to  the  we!>tward  until  you  find  it  deeper.  On  leayipg  tlie  Tortugds  the  current 
£ets  lapidly  over  towards  Uie  *Colorados ;  to  this  tlie  grcfttest  attention  must  be 
paid  to  avoid  danger.  "  .

these  rocks,  gives  the  following  detail :  "  We  took  our  departure  from  4  or  5  leagues

and  iikew'ise  the  hummocks  almost  join  with  the  low  laud  between  them.  All  Ihiti  we  could 
see  on  deck,  or  but  two  oi  three  rattlings  up ;  but  the  three  aforesaid  hummocks  we  raisail 
upon  deck,  when  we  were  about  8  oc  10  leagues  off  our  aforesaid  station  of  6  leagues  to  thte

To  this  detail  it  will  not  be  improper  to  add  the  mnarks  of  another  experienced  naviga-

bore  as  before  ;  and  specified  t  "lie  Antonio,  bearing  S.  S.  E.  five  leagues  at  that  time.  As 
he  was  coming  home  in  the  fleet  of  merchantmen,  in  17.'i8,  he  kept  working  oil"  the  west  end 
of  the  Colorados.  wHh  the  wind  noriherly  ;  when  on  the  l;.th  of  July,  he  was  in  so  as  to 
bring  the  Little  Dry  Key,  or  Black  Uock,  to  bear  E.  northerly,  distance  G  or  7  miles,  bein^ 
then  in  Int.  11"  34'.  As  the  wind  was  norlhcily,  he  stood  to  the  westward,  and  made  up  the 
distance  from  the  Colorados,  14  miles  before  he  lowered  the  view  .' the  aforesaid  hills  ot 
Cape  Bnenavista,  to  the  fame  lesemblance  lliey  Jiail  when  he  saw  them  before.  Thus  he 
found  that  the  Colorados  Keef  was  so  far  to  the  eastward  of  his  fn-st  station,  or  It  miles  K. 
of  Cape  Antonio.  Were  I  to  come  nnind  to  Cupe  Antonio,  says  (  aptain  B.  1  should  not 
choose  to  come  near  the  Colorados,  because  I  look  upon  the  current  us  u  tideN  way,  or  as 
one  of  the  points  of  the  river  Thames.  If  yon  presume  to  go  close  by  tlie  point,  it  is  n  hun- 
dred to  one  If  you  are  not  calcheil  in  the  eddy.  t)n  July  "15,  I  just  saw  the  high  land  of 
Cape  Buonavista  fi-oni  the  mast-head  bearing  east ;  tried  the  current,  and  found  it  to  set  N; 
W.  at  the  rate  of  a  mile  an  hour;  and  trying  it  '2  or  '.J  miles  ott'  the  Colorados,  it  went  S.  S. 
AV  nt  the  rate  of  a  mile  and  an  half  an  hour ;  so  that  in  coming  from  Cape  Antonio,  I  would 
not  steer  north  (allowing  for  the  Reefs  to  tire  N.  N.W. of  it)  till  I  was  got  into  tlie  lat.  of 
LS"  and  then  to  the  eastward  ;  for  were  yon  to  keep  in  shore,  you  would  have  the  i<.  W. 
current  as  far  as  the  eastern  point  of  the  C;oxcomb's  Land.

TIIK  ISLAND  OF  TOBAGO. 

FROM  Iliirhndoes  to  the  north  point  of  Tobnijo,  (lie  ilistnnrr  !#  3C  leagues  ; 
Ihe  roui>e  by  ron-prmti  it  S  35  lia^iies,  wiiirh  will  bring  you  about  5  ii  hj-iuh  to 
windward  ol  tin:  ji-lund.  It  is  ruinnini,  wiili  moM  pilo's,  lostic  H.  \  E.  but 
with  that  r(itu>c  tiny  arc  exjosed,  when  in  the  latitude  of  Tobugo,  to  be  at 
leant  ten  IcRgiuH  to  the  eastward  of  it.  As  the  liiiid  i^  pretty  high,  it  may  be 
seen  at  the  distance  of  1  j  leagues  «r  nnue,  in  clear  wenllier,  and  jou  niUKt  al- 
wayi>  endeavour  to  get  on  the  ntinh  Hide  of  the  it.|and;  that  side  is  twld  and 
clear,  till  )"U  get  down  nbdut  0  miles  from  Si.  Gilm'  rocks,  »ihrre  tliere  are 
several  rocks  abovt  water,  called  The  Sisters.  They  lie  two  miles  from  the 
shore,  an<l  are  b(>l<l  to.  When  abrcnst  of  tlio-e  roa4s>uu  may  see  the  west  end 
of  the  Island,  whidi  is  low  and  sandy,  and  to  the  westward  of  ihemyoii  msy 
heave  ns  near  the  shore  as  you  plcsf  e. 

Tobago,  like  Darbadocs,  lies  out  of  the  line,  and  to  tlie  windward  of  tiie  Car- 
ribee  iblan<l>t.  The  latitude  of  the  N .  K.  en<l  is  1 1  °  20'  N.  tlic  longitude  is  (k)" 
1 T  W.  iVom  Loudon.  Il  is  not  exposed  to  those  dreadful  hurricanes  which  are 
so  destructive  in  the  other  islands. 

If  you  make  Tobago,  towards  the  evening,  and  are  afraid  of  running  in  willi 
it,  you  must  not  by  any  means  lay  to,  but  stand  to  the  southward,  under  nn 
easy  sail;  otherwise  Ihe  current,  which  always  sets  to  Ihe  N.  W.  or  N.  K. 
w  ill  probably  occasion  your  losing  sight  of  tiie  island  ;  and  if  it  should  set  to  the 
N.  W.  would  perhaps  carry  you  so  far  to  leewnrd,  that  you  could  not  be 
able  to  fetch  it  again. 

Though  'J'obago  does  not  post^ess  any  harlouri',  pmpcrly  so  called,  il  lias 
several  good  bays,  which,  coiuidering  that  from  their  southern  latitude,  they 
are  never  exposed  to  dangerous  gales  of  winds,  are  equally  coiivenieut  and 
secure  to  shipping. 

In  going  to  any  of  the  bays  tothe  leeward  of  the  island,  you  may  run  «s  near 
to  St.  Giles'  rocks,  (on  the  north  point)  as  you  choose,  and,  if  going  into  Man  of 
War  bay,  may  borrow  as  near  the  north  point  of  thnt  bay  as  you  please.  Ves- 
sels sailing  from  Hie  eastward  for  the  south  side  of  the  island,  must  keep  well  to 
the  southward,  otherwise  the  current  round  Little  Tobago,  (  which  runs  always  (o 
tlie  N.  W.)  will  sweep  them  all  away  to  the  northward.  To  the  S.  W.  there  is 
nothing  to  fear  till  you  come  to  Courland  bay,  but  what  shews  itself,  except  Clics- 
tcrfieid  rock.  This  is  a  sunken  rock,  with  0  feel  upon  it,  at  low  water.  It  lica 
above  a  half  m'.lc  from  tho  shore,  near  the  east  point  of  Minister  bay. 

The  currents  near  Tobago  are  very  strong  and  uncertain,  especially  l)etweeB 
th;'*  island  and  Trinidad.  The  north-east  trade  wind  blows  all  the  year  round. 
At  the  lull  and  change  of  the  moon  the  sea  rises  four  feet  perpendicular.

MAN  OF  WAR  BAY.  on  the  norlh  side,  lies  about  3  miles  from  St.  GiW 
socks.     You  have  no  soundings  till  you  arc  close  up  in  the  hay,  and  then  from  40 
to  10  fathoms,  except  a  small  spot  towards  the  west,  called  the  Cardinal,  which 
is  an  exceeding  good  place  for  fishing     When  bound  to  that  bay,  you  go  to  lee- 
ward of  Bt.  Giles'  rocks :  haul  in  for  Uie  bluff,  or  North  point,  and  you  will  see 
the  bay ;  open  the  key  as  near  the  bluff  as  you  can,  but  take  care  Ihe  wind  does 
not  take  you  aback,  for  it  is  very  fluttering  under  tlie  high  land.     Turn  into  (he 
bay,  which  is  all  bold,  even  to  the  rocks ;  anchor  .is  far  to  windward  (ts  you 
can.-  After  you  are  shot  in,  you  will  see  a  little  bay  calle<l  Pyrat's  bay;  get  as 
nigh  that  bay  as  you  can,  in  1 2, 1 4,  1 G,  or  1 7  fathoms,  all  clear  ground ;  if  you 
eaooot  tun  in,  you  may  anchor  in  35  or  40  fathoms,  and  warp  up.    In  Pyrat's

At  tlie  soiith-wtBt  end  of  Toba-jo,  is  Kaiidy  point  hay;  If  you  weipli  froiu 
(MPat  Courlaiid  l);iy,  be  siuie  of  a  breeze  to  carry  joii  willioiit  the  reef,  cnlhd 
IWco,  for  if  it  ia  calm,  the  ciincul  will  set  you  down  on  thi^  rref,  whose  norlhera 
end,  whicli  brentis  and  dries  at  low  water,  is  about  two  mileH  from  the  shore  ; 
kef  |>  aliout  two  chH<  "h  length  from  the  breakerji.  and  it  is  perfectly  safe. 

To  enter  Sandy  point  bay,  li.  ill  close  round  tlie  reef,  and  having  pas^.eil  the 
point,  anclior  ni  the  Iwilloiii,  in  siv  fallioina. 

Hetweeii  Little  Tobago  and  tiic  great  iBlaml,  4  miles  from  St.  Giles'  rocks,  is 
Tyrrel's  hay,  for  ships  of  l/iO  tons. 

Three  miles  mid  a  h;df  from  iliis,  and  on  the  south  side  of  tlic  island,  lies  Kins;'* 
bay,  with  pood  aiichorHgo  any  where,  within  tlw  windward  iHiiiit  from  0  lo  20 
HiUioms.  In  the  day  time,  the  hi^h  land  on  this  jwint  intercepts  the  trade  wind, 
and  the  swell  from  the  eastward  is  apt  to  set  a  vessel  down  to  theleewani  point, 
which  projects  farther  lo  the  southward;  therefore  the  best  liuic  to  sail  out  is 
early  in  the  morning,  about  day-break,  when  the  wind  blows  fresh  oflf  the  laud 
to  tli<'  northward, 

Que(  n's  bay  adjoiiiino;  to  Kind's  bay,  on  the  west  side,  has  very  safe  anchor- 
aae,  wit  hill  about  If  cable's  length  from  tlie  shore.  Give  the  island  ofT  the 
point  a  ^ood  birth  to  windward,  but  if  you  can  procure  a  pilot,  it  will  be  proper 
to  have  one. 

Halifax  bay,  about  one  league  to  leeward,  is  n  veiy  safe  snug  bay  for  vessels 
of  230  tons,  b«it  there  is  a  shoal  iu  the  middle  of  the  entrance,  that  makes  a  pi- 
lot necessary. 

Barbadoes  bay  lies  5  miles  S.  VV.  of  Halifax  bay.  In  nmnlng  down  the  aonth 
side,  to  avoid  Great  river  shoal,  keep  the  east  end  of  Little  Tobago  open  with 
.Smith's  island,  until  the-  latter  bears  N.  W.  when  you  may  cuff  up  for  the  bay, 
but  you  must  be  careful  to  avoid  a  reef  c»f  coral  rocks  which  ninsout  from  Graii- 
by  point,  about  a  cable's  leiieih.  When  you  are  within  the  reef  you  have  very 
good  anchorage  in  from  12  to  7  fathoms,  and  the  best  mark  for  it,  is  to  bring  the 
Silk  Cotton  tree  on  the  beich,  in  one  with  the  flag  staff  on  the  hill. 

Rocky  bay.  hi  miles  VV.  from  Btrbadoes  bay,  is  a  safe,  deep  bay,  where  a 
ve-scl  may  anchor  from  15  »o  7  f  (thorns  water,  and  no  danger  in  standing  in 
boldly*  1  n  running  down  this  bsy,  care  must  be  taken  of  Clieiterfield  rock,  men-

Just  as  yoii  enter  the  port,  there  runsoiitahigh  rorky  |M»int,  very  steep  on  eve- 
ry side,  excepting  to  the  N.  K.  On  this  the  Foit  Ilnjal,  which  is  bntMnall,  is 
constructed  in  as  regular  a  manner  as  the  inilure  of  llic  place  will  admit ;  but  il 
is  overlooked  by  the  several  height!)  which  form  and  >uiT(iund  the  haibou.. 

On  the  soutli  f^ide  of  the  island,  al/out  7  miles  K.  of  point  Salines,  lies  t>ie  )  ar- 
bour of  Calviiii  which  is  very  ili  cp.  It  is  divided  into  the  outuurd  nixl  ti  '  in- 
ner port ;  the  entrance  into  the  former  is  above  half  a  mile  broad,  willi  as  i,iueli 
extent  within;  the  entrance  Into  the  inner  port  is  about  a  quarter  of  a  mile  in 
breadth,  and  its  depth  above  a  mile  ;  it  is  for  the  moul  part  7  fulhnnis  deep  and 
excellent  holding  ground,  being  every  «  here  a  soft  oo/.j  iKittom.  The  Hhipa  here 
may  lie  alongbide  of  the  warehnuses,  and  take  in  their  loading  with  •;real  cas'e

the  outer  harbour,  which  enjoys  this  peculiar  9dv;iatagc,tliat  ships  can  sail  in  or 
out  with  th«  common  trade  wind. 

From  Brown's  point,  (th(!  S.  W.  end  of  Tobago)  to  Point  Salines,  (Ihe  S.  W. 
end  of  Grenada)  the  course  is  N.  W  by  W.  2'J  leagues.  The  south  side  of  Grena- 
da  is  bold,  giving  it  a  mile  nr  two  birth ;  there  being  only  l«o  or  three  small  rocky 
islands,  and  some  rocks,  very  near  the  shore.  As  you  run  down  towards  Point 
Salines,  you  will  see  Ihe  Islet  Ramicr,  a  very  small  islrnd,  about  1  mile  foulh, 
from  the  nearest  shore,  and  li  mile  8.  E.  from  Ihe  point.  Give  that  island  a  mile 
birth  :  you  cannot  go  within  it,  as  there  is  but  little  water.  To  the  Point  Salines 
it  is  suflicient  to  give  half  a  mile  birth,  there  being  no  le.^s  than  7  fathoms.  As 
soon  as  you  art  past  that  point,  you  open  the  Grand  bay,  and  may  borrow  preltj 
ni^h;  turn  up,  and  anchor  to  the  norihward  of  ihc  fort,  which  bears  from  point  Sa- 
lines N.  E.  by  N.  A  mile  from  the  fort  you  will  have  1 5  falhonts,  elenr  ground, 
'  but  higher  it  i»  much  liliallower,  and  a  little  rocky.  If  you  go  into  the  harbour, 
run  close  under  the  fort,  and  anchor  midway,  or  rather  nearest  to  the  fort,  iiieu 
warp  up,  all  clear  ground ;  there  arc  eight  fathoms  close  to  the  town.  It  is  full 
the  third  of  a  mile  broad  at  the  entrance,  and  very  capacious  witlii- 

You  are  obliged  to  work  up  into  Grand  bay,  at  most  times,  by  rr^or-  jiat  it 
lies  open  to  the  westward,  and  the  trade  wind  blows  out  of  the  bay.     ^    >     ^ « 

THE  GRENADINES,  OR  GRANADILLOS.        ,     ■  , 

THE  Grenadines  form  a  chain  of  innumerable  rocks,  and  'iiuYcn  spots,  good 
for  little,  which  extend  to  N.  E.  by  N.  for  about  ]6  or  11 1  a§;'jes.  Some,  how- 
ever, are  of  considerable  size  and  value,  particularly  Cariuacou  and  Bequia, 
hoth  inhabited,  and  producing  good  coffee  and  cotton. 

Cariuacou  lies  about  6  leagues  N.  by  E.  •[  '2.  from  the  N.  W.  of  Grenada ; 
it  is  of  a  circular  form,  of  about  6  miles  in  length  and  breadth,  and  has  a  commo- 
dious harbour. 

Bequia,  called  also  Little  Marlinico,  is  the  northernmost  of  the  Grenadines, 
and  lies  about  2  leao;ues  south  from  St.  Vincents  ;  on  the  west  side  it  has  a  very 
good  sandy  bay.  where  yon  may  ride  occasionally  ;  and  wood  is  to  be  got  ihere.

The  Island  of  St.  Vincents. 


v<»-  it»  **',■  oV  •.* 


From  Bequia  to  St.  Vincents,  the  course  is  north,  about  two  leagues.  Tbc 
channel  between  those  two  islands,  is  ver}-  ^ood  to  tome  through,  if  bound  from 
Barbndoes  to  the  Salt  Tortugn,  or  the  Spanish  M^iti ;  and  there  am  small  trading; 
vessels  which  work  up  through  it.  St.  Vinceiits  is  about  Ave  leagues  loug,  and 
lies  nearly  N.  and  S.  and  E.  and  W.  the  north  end,  which  is  much  liiglier  than 
tlic  souili  prirt,  is  inhiihited  by  about  two  thousand  natives,  or  Caribs.  On  this 
north  end  there  is  a  volcano,  called  La  SoufTiiere,  or  Sulphur  hill,  near  Point 
Tarratee.  On  the  west  bide  of  the  island,  which  is  bold,  are  ^^everal  bayf,  liav 
ing  all  of  them  fresh  water  rivers,  and  on  the  !^.  VV.  si  le  you  make  good  anchor- 
age, as  near,  or  as  far  off,  as  you  please,  enpec ially  in  Kingstown  bay,  where  the 
chief  town  is  situated.  But  the  best  bay  n'i  the  isiaad  is  Tyrrel's  bay,  called 
formerly  Bay  St.  Anthony ;  when  you  turn  up  between  St.  Yinciuts  and  Bequia, 
you  will  see  a  large  bluff  of  land,  and  just  to  windward  of  that  is  Tyrrel's  bay  or 
Calliaquii ;  the  shore  is  bold  on  each  side;  run  iuto  10,  20,  or  15  fathoms  and 
anchor ;  there  are  two  rivers  which  run  into  the  sea. 

St.  Vince<>t  is  within  sight  of  Barbadoes  ;  ttie  course  from  Carlisle  bay  to  the 
south  end  of  St.  Vincent,  is  VV.  northrrly  2d  leagues.  If  you  intend  to  anchor 
in  Kingstown  bay,  you  will  see  a  small  high  peaked  island  called  Young's  sugar 
luaf ;  pass  the  bay  to  leeward  of  this  sugar  loaf,  and  go  round  a  long  sloping 
))(>int ;  you  may  borrow  within  pistol  shot ;  but  if  the  wind  takes  you  short,  you 
may  anchor  iu  35  fathoms,  and  warp  in.  There  is  a  small  ledge  of  rocks  close 
on  the  weather  shore,  within  6  fathoms. 

A,  ..  <.v^  The  Island  of  St.  Lucia. 

FROM  Point  Tarratee,  the  north  end  of  St.  Vincent,  to  the  Foinle  du  Gros 
Piton,  or  theS.  W.  point  of  St.  Lucia,  the  course  is  N.  by  E.  ^  E.  5^  letigues; 
there  \s  a  deep  and  good  channel  betwixt  the  two  islands.) 

St.  Lucia,  which  is  about  10  leagues  in  length,  and  about  5  in  breadth,  is  a 
ver}'  high  and  broken  laml  covered  with  forests.  Some  of  the  mountains  rise 
like  pinacles,  to  an  astonishing  height,  and  are  very  steep  ;  others  have  broader 
base^,  and  are  covered  with  woods,  to  the  summit,  which  terminates  in  the  cra- 
icrs  of  the  volcanos.  These  volcauos  indeed  are  all  exhausted,  except  one, 
vhich  the  French  call  La  Souffiiore,  (The  sulphur  hill)  on  the  S.  W.  euf!  of  the 
ibland.     The  crater  lies  on  an  eminence,  between  two  jnountains. 

About  1^  mile  to  the  west  of  the  volcano,  on  the  sea  shore,  stand  two  high 
peaks,  called  by  the  French,  Les  Pilons,  and  by  the  EugliNh,  the  Sugar  loaves; 
tliey  lie  very  nigh  each  other,  but  between  them  is  opening  enough  to  distinguish 
them  both,  when  you  come  from  the  southward. 

On  tile  west  side  of  bt.  I^ucia  less  than  3  lengues  from  the  Grog  islet,  is  the 
CarcuHge,  one  of  the  best  harbours  in  the  West  Indies,  with  deep  water,  and  ex- 
ceeding good  ground  all  over.  Three  carejri.ig  places  have  been  formed  thert 
by  nature,  which  want  no  wharves,  and  require  notliiiig  but  a  capstem  to  turn  the 
kf.el  above  water.  Thirty  line  of  battle  Bliip-<  would  lay  there,  secure  agaitist 
the  hurricanes,  without  the  trouble  of  being  moored. — Add  to  this  that  no  sliipF 
can  enter  witiinut  warping  in  ;  there  is  always  a  breeze  to  carry  one  out,  and  iu 
less  than  an  hour,  the  largpst  squadron  may  be  iu  the  offing.  The  shores  here 
are  so  bold,  that  a  first  rate  man  of  war  may  come  within  6  yards  of  them.

Wiien  bound  iioni  tlie  northward  to  the  Carcnage,  you  will  see  a  blufl*  two

The  Island  of  Marti  nico. 

FROM  the  nortli  end  of  Ht.  Lucia,  called  the  Cape,  to  Point  Salipee,  or  the 
south  end  of  Mariinico,  the  c«)ur&e  is  N.  easterly,  about  0  Icvguca.  This  is  th« 
narrowest  part  of  the  channel  that  divides  the  twoitilaiKts. 

From  Gros  iskCt  bay  to  Diamond  rock,  thv  course  is  N.  by  W.  about  seven 
leagues. 

Alarliiiico  is  about  12  or  13  leagues  in  length,  antl  Iks  N.  W.  by  N.  and  S,  E. 
by  S. :  is  breadth  is  extremely  unequal,  aud  scarcely  any  where  more  than  4 
4*r  5  leagues;  and  if  you  include  the  promontories,  which  project  in  many 
plac :  s  one  or  two  leagues  beyon<l  liie  re,it  of  the  island,  its  circumference  will 
include  above  30  leagues.  The  iand  is  very  uneven,  and  every  where  inter- 
sected with  large  huntmocks,  in  the  form  of  sugar  loaves.  Three  mountains  rise 
above  those  innumerabh*  hummocks,  the  highest  of  which  has  been  a  volcano  ; 
it  appears  like  the  crown  of  a  hat,  and  may  be  plainly  seen  on  any  side  of  tlie 
hiand  you  come. 

Fort  Hnyal,  on  the  south  side,  and  at  the  bottom  of  a  deep  bay,  called  the  Cut 
<le  Sac  Kojal,  is  the  chief  town  of  Martitnco.  It  is  very  advantagcoasly  situ- 
ated, near  an  ex(  ellent  harbour,  and  under  cover  of  a  peninsula,  which  is  en- 
tirely occupied  by  a  fort,  formerly  the  residence  of  the  Covernor-gencral  of  the 
French  Windward  islands.  Thai  part  of  the  Cul  de  Sac  is  called  the  Carenage. 
The  town  is  situated  to  the  N.  N.  W.  and  N'.  VV.  of  the  fort. 

The  harbour  and  the  road  are  incuml>ered  with  several  Keys,  or  shoals,  com- 
posed of  hard  gravel,  limeMoiies,  and  coral;  those  keys,  from  their  number,  aB 
well  . .'  from  their  situation,  aie  very  danceious'  to  strangers  ;  but  they  may  be 
considered  m  the  safety  of  the  road  and  harbour,  since  no  large  ship  would  at- 
tempt to  sail  Among  iheni,  without  athorous;h  kBowlwlge  of  the  citanuei.  Th» 
watering  pliice  is  at  Rivtr  Monsier,  to  the  east  of  the  fort. 

Point  8aUnes,  or  the  south  end  of  Marliidco,  is  low  land,  and  has  three  small 
rocks,  orishinds.  When  they  hear  W.  from  you,  you  may  see  between  them 
and  the  point;  within  tlds  point,  to  the  tvest.vard,  the  English  ship  Uaisouable 
vas  lost,  nff  Fort  and  Point  GHrden ;  it  must  therefore  l>e  avoided. 

The  Diamond  Rock,  and  the  southernmost  little  island,  (called  Kid  island)  at 
Point  Salines,  lie  from  ciioh  other  W.  19»  N.  and  E.  19"»  S.  about  10  mihs.  This 
rock  stands  about  a  mile  from  the  shore.  There  is  no  going  wiilrn  the  rock,  but

There  is  a  grotiiui  about  the  middle  of  ttie  bay,  the  lowf  r  end  of  whicii  lies  a

Fort  St.  Pierre,  CSt.  Peter";  the  trading  town  of  Martiniro.  lies  about  4  leaguea 
to  the  N.  W.  of  Fort  Royal. in  14"  44'  N.  latitude.  Itisbuiit  partly  upon  the 
rising  grounds,  at  the  foot  of  a  ridge  of  hills  and  partly  along  the  shore  of  a 
spacious,  circular  bay,  which  forms  an  open  road  to  the  southward,  and  west- 
ward. The  best  anchoring  place,  called  the  Frigate's  anchorage,  lies  in  the 
southernmost  part  of  the  road,  (w  hi  re  yon  see  some  steep  cliffs  and  rocks)  in  7 
fathoms,  gravelly  ground.  If  you  bring  the  highest  steei)le  of  the  town  N.  by 
E.  Bomewhal  northerly,  anil  Point  Carbet  (on  the  south  side  of  the  road)  south, 
you  will  have  7  fathoms,  oozy  ground. 

If  you  intend  to  stay  some  lime  in  this  road,  it  is  proper  you  should  lie  with 
one  anchor  close  to  tlie  shore,  to  the  S.  E.  or  E.  S.  E.  (or  even  ou  sliore)  and 
the  other  to  the  IS'.  \V. 

In  the  hurricane  months,  that  is  from  the  15th  Jidy  to  the  15th  October,  ships 
cannot  He  with  safety  in  this  road,  and  ought  to  leave  it  on  the  I5th  July  at 
farthest.  If  they  are  to  remain  for  h  longer  time  at  Martinico,  they  mitst  retire 
into  Fort  Rojnl  bay,  where  they  lie  secure  against  the  hurricanes;  they  may  al- 
so find  shelter  in  'I'rinity  bay,  to  the  windward,  and  on  the  north  side  of  the 
island.  The  whole  circumference  of  Marlin'co,  as  we  hare  observed  already, 
is  indented  by  large  bays,  at  the  bottom  of  whi  i  are  line  sandy  coves,  and  very 
good  harbours,  sheltered  by  long  points,  projecting  into  the  sea,  but  all  these  are 
not  safe  iu  the  winter  st    -on. 

When  you  come  from  the  eastward,  if  you  intend  to  sail  by  the  north  side  of 
Martinico.  you  are  to  take  your  departure  from  the  Carvel,  a  small  rocky  island 
that  lies  2  miles  north  of  the  easternmost  point  of  the  island,  in  }4°  5\'  north 
latitu>1.e;  in  running  along  which  you  will  be  exposed  to  sudden  flurries,  M'hich 
are  very  frequent  on  account  of  the  nain  w  openings  ofthemounlaios,  and  if  the 
ti>p-gall:mt  sails  arc  up,  you  must  keep  a  lookout  aft»r  the  hallyards. 

Point  Macouba,  the  iioi-thernmo^  of  the  'slatid,  is  in  14"  56' north  latitude /is 
remarkable  for  a  wa<cifHl|  of  the  ^nmo  name;  it  is-n  kind  of  torreat  falliog  into

On  the  north  siAr  is  the  high  remarkable  bliifl»,  called  Priore  Rupert's  head, 
by  which  the  bay  is  racily  kiiuwii.  The  couth  point  (Kollo'^  head)  k  pretty 
low,  but  both  points  are  hold  too,  so  that  iu  working  iu  you  may  stand  botdiy  over 
from  side  to  sifle,  which  is  near  3  miles  over  ;  the  bay  is  nbout  1 4  mile  deep  ; 
you  may  anchor  in  what  water  you  please,  and  moor  W.  N.  W.  and  E.  S.  K. ; 
the  best  anchorins;  is  rather  on  the  north  side.  There  are  three  rivers  ruuniog 
into  the  bay,  where  you  may  water,  ^.ai  the  middle  mi  north  rivers  are  to  be 
preferred.     The  best  wooding  place  is  on  the  north  part  of  the  bay. 

If  jou  arc  bound  to  Domiiiico  from  l3Hrba<locs,  you  must  steer  N.  N".  W.  till 
you  pass  Martinico?  theu  a  N.  W.  course  will  carry  you  to  the  northward  of 
Domiutco.  iieaving  Marjgalante  on  tiic  starboard  side,  haul  up  close  in  with 
the  north  point  of  Uominico;  you  will  see  a  round  bluif,  making  like  an  ishiod, 
if  at  some  distance ;  go  round  that,  and  open  Prince  Rupert's  bay  ;  turn  into 
the  north  part,  and  anchor  in  7,  8,  or  9  fathoms.  You  will  see  the  mouth  of  a 
large  river,  anchor  to  the  northward  of  that,  half  a  mile,  and  you  will  be  oppo- 
site to  a  small  rlver,which  you  water  at,  the  best  in  the  bay ;  the  great  river  i« 
brackish.  There  is  another  river  to  the  southward,  where  you  may  anchor  in 
6  fathoms,  clear  ground ;  but  in  10  fathoms  you  will  have  coral  rocks. 

The  town  of  Roseau  lies  in  15*  18'  north  latitude,  and  61°  22'  west  longi. 
tude  from  London. 

The  island  of  Guadaloupe,  and  its  Dependencies — viz. — The 
adjacent  islands  called  The  Saints,  Miirygalante,  Deseada,  or 
Desirade,  and  Petite  Terre.  - 

THE  island  of  Gaiidaloupe,  one  of  the  largest  of  the  Carribees,  is  near  60 
leagues  in  circumference ;  its  form  in  very  irregtilar ;  it  is  cut  in  two  by  an  ann 
of  the  sea,  called  the  Salt  river,  diminishing  in  width  froiii  50  to  15  fathoms, 
whose  soundings  are  in  some  places  deep  enough  for  a  ship  of  500  tons,  whilst  iu 
others  they  have  scarce  water  enough  for  a  bark  of  50.  The  length  of  this 
straight  is  about  2  leagues. 

That  part  of  the  island  on  the  west  of  SiU  river,  which  gives  its  name  to  the 
whole  colony,  is  divided  into  two  by  a  ridge  of  very  high  mountains  running 
north  and  south.  Towards  the  south  point  rises  in  the  middle  region  of  the  air, 
a  mountain,  called  La  SoulTricre,  (Hulphur  hill)  like  the  volcano  of  St.  Lucia, 
that  e.\ales  a  thick  and  black  smoke,  mixed  with  sparks,  which  are  visible  in  the 
night. 

The  chief  place  of  Guadaloupe  is  the  (own  of  Basseterre,  on  the  west  side, 
near  the  south  end  of  the  island,  in  lat.  \5'*  59'  30'',  and  long,  west  from  London 
61"  43'.  The  course  from  Prince  Rupert's  bay,  in  Dominico,  to  the  road  of 
Basseterre,  is  N.  W.  by  N.  10  leagues. 

The  English  ship  the  Temple,  being  at  anchor  in  Basseterre  road,  the  wes- 
terumost  part  of  the  Saints,  and  some  part  of  the  west  side  of  Dominico  were  in 
one,  bearing  S.  E.  by  S.  by  compass.  Then  Monserrat  bore  N.  W.  northerly, 
and  the  westernmost  part  of  Basseterre  bay  N.  W.  by  N.  distance  one  mile. 

The  French  frigate  La  Flora,  being  moored  N.  N.  E.  and  S.  S.  W.  in  this 
road,  in  7  fathoms,  sandy  ground,  and  the  small  anchor  in  37  fathoms,  same 
ground,  had  the  following  bearings  by  compass:

very  exact  bearing,  the  S.  W.  point  of  the  westernmost  Saint  lies  9,  27"  30'  E. 
of  llieS.  point  of  Uuadaloupe,  distance  8  miles ;  the  Icasl  depth  between  them 
and  the  main  island  is  1 7  fathoms.  But  the  best  channel  is  on  the  south  side, 
for  10  llie  former  there  is  a  hunktn  rock,  which  lies  1*  mile  from  the  Saints. 
These  isLinds  are  so  happily  arranged,  that  in  the  midst  of  them  there  is  as  fine  a 
roud  for  shipping  as  any  iu  the  neighbourhood.  The  Saints  are  bU  bold  to, 
thougli  they  appear  to  be  a  parcel  of  rocky  islands. 

THE  Island  of  Marygalante,  a!»out  R  miles  to  the  eastward  of  the  Saintg  with 
a  good  channel  between,  is  about  the  height  of  Barbadues,  and  rises  gradually 
towards  the  north.  At  the  60uth  end,  and  the  east  side,  are  dangercus  rockj 
under  water,  and  reefs  which  stretch  about  one  league  into  the  sea ;  but  the  west 
side  is  a  good  fair  white  shore,  with  good  anchorage  in  several  places. 

From  the  north  end  of  Marygalante  to  Deseada,  the  course  is  N.  N.  E-  about 
S  leagues,  and  the  channel  good,  keeping  the  middle  ;  but  there  is  a  very  small 
sandy  island,  called  Petite-Terre,  which  lies  right  in  the  fairway;  it  is  about  3 
miles  long  from  N.  W.  to  S.  E.  and  is  divided  in  two  by  a  channel,  where  small 
vessels  may  anchor.  It  is  not  safe  to  come  within  more  than  2  miles  of  Petite- 
Terre.  It  lies  E.  S.  E.  from  the  east  end  of  Grand  Terre  (I'oint  Chateau) 
which  is  remarkable  by  a  parcel  of  grey  rocks,  distance  about  5  or  6  miles. 
There  is  no  passage  between  Petite  Terre  and  the  main  island  lor  any  thing 
but  small  craft.  There  is  pretty  good  anchoring  by  Petite  Terre,  to  the  west- 
ward,  2  miles  from  shore,  in  7  fathoms  water;  then  the  west  end  of  Deseada 
will  bear  N.  27°  E.  and  Point  Chateau  K.  80°  W. 

DESEADA,  or  the  Desirade,  one  of  the  smallest  of  the  Carribees,  lies  5  miles 
to  the  N.  E.  ol  Point  Chateau.  It  is  a  kind  of  rock  without  water,  where  they 
cultivate  some  cotton.  This  isia  id  liesE  N.  E.  and  W.  S.  W  having  no  trees 
upon  it,  and  is  Bhajjed  like  a  galley,  its  K.  N.  t.  end  making  like  the  head  or 
prow,  and  the  S.  W.  end  like  the  tilt  of  the  galley  ;  but  coming  near,  an<l  pass- 
ing by  the  north  end  of  it,  yoti  will  perceive  while  broken  patches,  like  hea()B 
of  sand,  with  red  streaks  in  them.  On  the  north  side  there  are  some  rocks  un- 
der water.  There  is  anchorage  at  the  S.  W.  part  of  Deseada,  distance  IJ  mile 
from  some  houses  that  stand  by  the  shore  side.  You  may  anchor  in  from  5  to 
7  fathoms  water,  taking  care  to  look  out  for  a  clear  spot,  to  let  your  anchor  go 
in,  for  the  ground  is  rocky ;  and  when  at  anchor.  Petite  Terre  will  bear  south- 
easterly, distance  7  miles,  and  point  Chateau  south-west  distance  4  or  5  miles. 
Point  Chateau,  the  easternmost  part  of  Grand  Terre,  is  known  by  a  hummock 
upon  it,  and  between  it  and  Deseada  there  are  22  or  23  fathoms  water. 

There  are  gradual  soundings  between  Marygalante,  Grand  Terre,  and  Gua- 
daloupe,  as  far  as  Point  Peter,  (Point  a  Pctre,  near  which  stands  the  fort  of 
Grand  Terre)  but  if  you  are  to  the  eastward  of  Deseada,  and  boimd  for  Point 
Saline  in  Martinico,  the  best  way  is  to  keep  up  S.  or  S.  by  E.  as  there  is  most

Inatnutions  for  s(uling  into  St.  Joiin's  harbour,  cmning  from  the  Southuard. 

AS  you  come  nigh  the  Antigua  shore,  you  must  give  the  wrat  pnrt  of  the 
island  a  good  birth  till  you  open  Sandy  island  ;  bring  it  north,  or  \.  by  W.  and 
keep  your  lead  going  :  }ou  may  kteii  by  it  in  1 1  or  12  fathoms  water,  nnd  loii- 
tinue  so  if  you  want  to  go  b<  l,t'crn  Samly  ihliiiid  and  ilir  main,  or  until  you  ojicii 
the  houses  upon  the  little  rising  hill  within  Ptlicnn  point.  This  is  the  leading 
mark  or  the  main  side.  A»  ''n  Sandy  it-land,  it  is  pretty  bold  to,  and  the  iiliod- 
iiii^  may  be  seen  in  the  day  time.  The  Khi|)'M  stern,  is  al^o  bold  to.  In  working 
into  the  road,  you  may  stand  so  far  to  the  northwani,  ns  to  bring  Bhip'ti  stern,  S. 
S-  E.  then  about.  By  these  dirtclionsyou  may  work  into  St.  John's  road,  be- 
tween the  Wallingtou  rock  and  Ship's  stern.  The  rock  shews  itself  by  the  ual- 
er  breaking  upon  it. 

If  you  sail  from  ihesnuthward  to  St.  John's  road,  witliin  Sandy  island,  bring 
the  we  tern.iiost  of  the  Five  Islands  N.  by  E.  |  K.  of  you,  when  you  are  ofT 
John's  point,  and  keep  those  it>lHn<is  open  on  the  starboard  bow;  that  will  curry 
you  clear  of  a  sunken  rock  and  snnd,  oir  Fry's  or  Bermudian  valley.  Keep  a 
mile  dituuce  from  the  wcsteruniost  of  the  Five  islands,  and  you  are  iu  tiie  chan- 
nel, or  keep  Sandy  island  on  your  starboard  bow  till  you  open  the  ilawk's  bill, 
and  then  loof. 

To  avoid  the  Nine  feet  bank,  the  south  end  of  wbWh  lies  about  W.  by  N.  from 
ffidefcrfe's  mill,  which  bnuk  is  about  two  miles  from  the  shore,  Hud  one  mile  iu 
length,  but  very  narrow  ;  keep  Will  Knight's  iiouse  open  with  Sliip^s  stern,  and 
in  not  less  tha*.  5  fathoms,  for  at  4  fathoms,  you  arc  immediately  on  it. 

The  vanes  of  Sideserfi  's  mill  shutting  in  with  the  high  land  to  the  northward 
•f  the  mill,  then  you  are  just  on  the  south  end  of  this  hank. 

If  you  arc  obliged  to  turn  between  Sandy  island  and  the  Nine  feet  bank,  you 
may  stand  close  to  Sandy  island  ;  but  put  about  when  in  5  or  (i  fathoms,  oQ'lhc 
kauk.

From  the  Walliugtun  to  the  Diumuod, 


N.  3  do. 


If  coming  from  English  harbour,  you  are  bound  to  St.  John's  liRrbour.  observe 
that  from  the  former,  to  the  eastward,  the  shore  lies  E.  by  N.  and  W.  by  S.  Down 
abreast  of  Johnson's  point,  and  two  leagues  to  the  eastward  of  it,  is  foul  ground 
about  two  miles  oflf  shore.  Give  the  island  a  birth  of  at  least  3  or  4  miles,  ami 
w^en  you  come  down  as  low  as  Johnson's  point,  haul  towards  the  N.  K.  W.  and 
ke«p  your  lead  going :  then  steer  for  Sandy  island,  which  will  bear  N.  or  N. 
by  W.  of  you,  and  if  the  wind  will  allow  you,  you  may  run  within  Saiidy  island, 
where  you  will  not  have  \e»a  than  7  fathoms :  however,  it  is  better  for  a  stranger 
to  go  to  leeward  of  Sandy  island.  Be  sure  you  do  not  stand  above  3  or  4  miles 
to  the  northward  of.thc  island,  on  account  of  the  lee  current,  that  comes  dowu  to 
the  north  side  of  it,  as  well  as  of  Fevcral  shoals  whirh  lie  to  the  N.  E.  of  the 
same.  But  when  you  can  fetch  Ship's  stern,  you,  may  stand  boldly  towards  it, 
and  anchor  io  what  water  you  please,  from  6  to  12  fathoms  water.  If  you  keep 
iu  15  fathoms,  that  will  run  you  without  Sai.dy  island,  that  \»  to  the  westward  ' 
«r  it.  in  ca«e  nigh'  should  come  on.  There  is  a  bad  shoal  which  lies  N.  N.  E. 
and  N.  E.  by  N.  from  Ship's  stern,  distance  about  1 J  mile ;  when  it  blows,  you 
niaysee  the  breakers  on  it;  it  is  called  the  Wallington.  The  chaunel  is  ou 
(he  south  side  of  it,  up  to  St.  John's  harbour. 

If,  in  tlie  day  time,  you  are  running  down  the  south  side  of  Antigua,  you  may 
haul  in  for  Johnson's  point  till  you  bring  the  India  creek  land  to  be  seen  a  good 
Bail's  breadth  open  with  Old  road  bluff;  run  down  will  that  mark  on,  till  you 
bring  the  largest  of  the  Five  islands  to  bear  N.  E.  i  E.  then  steer  northward  i 
that  course  will  carry  you  clear  of  the  Ten  feet  bank,  whirh  lies  ofT  the  south 
side  of  the  Five  islands;  likewise  of  ihe  vie  feet  bank  that  lies  off  the  north 
point  of  the  Five  is'unds  havboiiv;  nnd  when  you  bring  tlie  Hawk's  bill  to  bear 
«Bst,  you  may  haul  up  as  nigh  Ship's  stern  as  ];ou  please,  within  Saudy  island.

St.  John's  is  a  bar  liarbour,  there  being  a  sand  which  stretches  off  from  tlieM, 
of  the  harbour  8.  W.  home  to  the  land  on  the  south  side.  The  deepest  water 
is  on  the  southernmost  part  of  the  bar,  where  you  have  14  feet;  on  the  north  is 
but  ]2.  In  coming  in,  you  must  keep  along  Ihe  S.  shore,  as  there  is  nothing  to 
hurt  you  from  Ship's  stern,  all  along  into  the  harbour ;  you  may  come  so  near 
Ship's  stern  as  to  cast  a  stone  ashore,  having  1 1^  fathoms  close  by  it. 

From  the  N.  W.  part  of  Ouadaloupe,  or  Englishman's  head,  to  Eoglish  har- 
bour, the  course  is  N.  distance  9  leagues.  This  is  a  very  safe  and  fine  har- 
bour; it  lies  close  uniler  the  W.  end  of  the  easternmost  high  land,  but  a  little  t« 
the  westwani  of  that  the  land  is  much  higher.  It  is  sheltered  from  all  winds, 
and  ships  commonly  lie  there  in  the  hurricane  mouths.  You  nay  anchor  ia 
Uie  bay,  without  the  harbour,  iw  5,  6,  or  7  falhoms  wafer,  and  w  arp  in ;  for 
unless  you  can  lie  N.  N.  E.  you  caunot  lie  in  it ;  besides  the  wind  is  apt  to 
flutter  you.  Give  the  low  point  ou  the  starboard  point  a  good  birth,  and 
keep  mid  channel,  if  you  can.  The  most  water  is  4^  fathoms,  and  the  same 
in  Frei;man'8  bay ;  but  there  is  at  most  times  smootli  water.  However,  it  ia 
not  safe  for  a  stranger  to  carry  a  ship  iu,  ou  account  of  the  bar,  and  the  nar- 
rownesa  of  the  entrance.  When  you  come  off  the  harbour,  the  master-attend- 
ant, or  a  pilot,  comes  ou  board. 

Large  sliips  lie  at  proper  moorings,  but  small  ones  lie  with  one  anchor  to  the 
E.  S.  E.  the  other  made  fast  a-stcrn  on  shore.  There  are  four  moorings  for 
chips  in  Freeman's  bay,  just  within  the  harbour's  mouth;  the  best  bower  to  the 
westward,  and  the  moorings  on  the  shore  to  the  eastward. 

No  wood  or  water  there.  You  can  get  your  water  at  Falmouth,  about  }l 
mile  to  the  leeward ;  and  is  not  very  good,  being  very  soft,  muddy,  and  brack- 
ish.— No  tide.— -Variation  4"  AG'  E. 

To  sail  into  FALMOUTH  HARBOUR,  you  must  nin  in  close  to  the 
west  point,  called  Procter's  point.  There  is  a  ledge  of  rocks  which  covers 
the  middle  of  the  inlet ;  from  thence  it  is  shoal  to  the  eastern,  or  Governor's 
black  point.  About  3  miles  W.  by  S.  lies  CARLISLL  BAY,  or  01<l  Road, 
where  vou  can  get  the  same  water  as  at  Falmouth  harbour. 

Three  miles  to  the  N.  E.  of  English  harbour  lies  WILLOUGHBY  BAY; 
the  going  into  this  bay  is  on  the  west  side ;  for  on  the  east  »<ide  stretcjies  off  a 
reef  within  half  a  mile  of  Sandy  island,  and  in  the  middle  of  the  channel  lies 
a  Spit,  with  only  9  feet  water  upon  it;  between  Sandy  island  and  the  Spjt 
there  is  four  falhoms;  between  the  Spit  and  the  west  end  of  the  reef  there  is 
7  fathoms,  and  the  channel  wider  It  is  better  however,  to  sail  iu  close  on 
board  Sandy  inland,  nnd  anchor  in  four  fathoms. 

NONSUCH  HARBOUR  lies  3  or  4  miles  further  up,  at  the  east  end 
of  Antigua.  On  the  south  side  is  Green  island;  the  best  going  in  is  between 
this  island  and  Ihe  south  part  of  the  harbour,  where  you  have  5  fathoms  wa- 
ter, for  the  northward  of  this  island  U  is  all  rocky ;  this  Itarbuur  must  uotbe 
attempted  by  a  strao^et.  ■  ;  v«»     #;:;^

SAlLtWO    llinBCTIONS   FOR   THK   NORTH   SIDK  fif    ANTIOVA. 

WIIEIV  you  m:ike  the  land,  give  it  a  birth  till  you  come  a  quarter  down  { 
then  haul  iu  till  you  come  into  14  fnthums,  and  then  you  muy  run  with  safely, 
keeping  that  draught  of  water.     If  the  water  should  shallow,  haul  off;  but  if 
deepen,  h:iul  in,  till  you  bring  in  Siiip's  stern  to  be:ir  ti.{  E,     Then  haul  up 
for  the' fort.     There  lies  a  l)iink  off  Great  bird  islami,  bearing  N.  N.  E.   \{ 
mile;  white  groiaid  may  >«  seen  li  mile  before  you  come  to  it.     The  best 
water  on  it  is  3  fHthnm».     Wcst-norlliciiy  finm  that  3  miles,  and  about  tlie  same 
ilistance  north  fioin  Barnicle  fort  point,  lies  Addison's  shoal,  where  there  is  uo 
more  than  A  feel  water,  and  3  fathoms  round  it — N.  by  W.  weHltrly,  dlstnnc* 
not  a  mile,  there  lie  two  other  shoals,  huviug  3  fathoms  water  at  least.     West 
from  thence,  distance  a  good  half  ra'.le,  lies  tiie  Horse  shoe,  i^ometimes  above 
water,  and  bearing  north  from  Prickle  pear  *ir  Beggar's  point,  distance  If  mile. 
A  little  to  the  westward  nf  the  point,  there  is  a  wind-mill,  and  about  one  third  of 
a  mile  further  to  the  S.  W.  there  lies  another,  which  are  very  good  marks  to 
come  insitle  of  the  reef;  steering  between  the  two  mills,  it  will  make  the  course 
S.  by  W,  the  least  water  in  coming  in  is  5  fathoms,  and  the  inner  part  of  tlie 
channel  9  fathoms.     There  lies  a  small  shoal  .■ith  5  feet  on  It,  distance  from  the 
Horse  ihoe,  S.  W.  by  W.  not  quite  li  mile,  and  about  the  same  distance  N.  W. 
bv  W.  from  Prickle  pear.     There  runs  another  small  shoal  from  Prickle  peart 
about  i)alf  a  mile  westerly,  but  il  h  to  be  seen.     West  from  the  last  mentioned 
Bhoal.  the  head  of  the  reef  begins,  which  bears  from  Boon's  or  Peyersou's  (mint 
north  about  1  mile,  and  near  the  same  dlst  mce  from  the  small  shoal.     Bring 
Bonn's  point  to  bear  S.  by  W.  wraterly,  and  you  may  steer  in,  then  making 
that  collr^e  good  to  come  within  the  reef.     The  westernmost  part  of  the  reef 
bears  uorth  from  the  Sisters,  above  IJ  mile. 

There  are  so  many  shoals  and  s^pots  without  the  reef,  that  it  is  dangerous  to 
come  too  nigit;  one  in  particular,  which  is  called  the  Diamond,  lies  a  mile  to 
the  west  of  the  reef  and  in  the  channel  between  you  have  6  and  SJ  fathoms, 
which  channel  you  are  in  whilst  you  keep  the  west  side  of  the  leewardmost  Sis- 
ler  in  a  line  with  the  Fort's  flag-staff.  The  Diamond  is  of  a  round  form,  being 
one  mile  in  lengh  and  as  much  in  breadth ;  the  depth  upon  it  from  1  foot  to 
9.  To  avoid  it,  you  must  bring  Ship's  stern  to  bear  S,  by  E.  before  you  haul 
up  with  the  fort,  and  then  look  out  for  Wallington  rock;  if  the  wind  will 
serve,  you  may  go  close  to  the  westward  of  the  westernmost  Sister,  and  then 
you  will  weather  WalUngton's  rock,  which  bears  north  from  Ship's  stern  above 
1  mile;  the  westernmost  jiirt  shoals  from  the  breakers  a  full  cable's  leagtli, 
but  to  the  eastward  it  is  bold  too. 

On  the  north  cide  of  Antigua,  and  to  the  south  of  Barnicle  fort  point,  lies 
Parham  harbour,  a  place  for  small  ships,  but  very  difficult  for  a  stranger  to

a  long  w  ay  into  the  sea ;  and  on  the  west  side  lies  a  good  road,  where  you  may 
ride  in  9,  12,  or  14  fathoms  water.

The  island  of  St.  Christopher,  vuln;arly  called  St.  Kill's  is  13  or  14  lean;uc5 
in  circuit,  the  Irnwlh  about  5,  and  the  breadth  a  league  and  a  half,  except  to- 
wards the  south  where  it  is  narrowed  by  an  isthmus,  whicii  joins  it  wllh  a  licad- 
,  lantl,  about  a  league  long,  and  half  a  league  broad.     The  center  of  the  island  i» 
taken  up  by  a  great  number  of  high  anrl  barren  mountains,  intersected  by  rocky 
precipices,  almost  impassable,  and  in  many  of  which  issue  hot  springs.     Mount 
Misery,  which  is  an  exhausted  volcano,  whose  head  is  hid  in  the  clouds,  is  the 
higliest  of  all  those  mountains,  its  perpendicular  height  being  37 II  feet.     At  a 
certain  distance,  it  bears  some  resemblance  to  a  man  who  carries  another  on  his 
back,  and  this  appearance  true  or  false,  engaged  Columbus  to  give  the  island 
the  name  of  St.  Christopher,  in  memory  of  the  legendary  tale,  which  supposes 
this  saint  to  have  carried  the  child  Jesus  on  his  slioulders  over  an  arm'of  ths 
sea.     The  assemblage  of  those  hills  makes  St.  Kilt's  appear,  to  those  who  ap- 
proach by  sea,  like  one  huge  mountain  covered  with  wood,  but  they  find,  as 
they  come  nearer,  that  the  coast  grows  easier,  aa  veil  as  the  the  ascent  of  (he

slatia  is  a  steep  rock  rising  out  of  the  sea.  to  a  gient  lieight,  about  3  miles  iu 
length,  and  2  iu  breadlli:  At  a  distance  it  appears  iu  th**  m;iiiner  of  a  sugar 
loaf,  asceiKling  up  in  a  round  hill ;  but  coming  iie«r,  it  altera  its  sh<ipe,  mid  seems 
somewliat  long.  This  rock  is  composed  of  two  mountains,  whose  middle  laiid 
is  pretty  even.  The  south  mountain  is  a  great  deal  higher  than  that  to  the  N. 
W.  it  is  hollow  in  tlie  middle,  and  the  excavaliou  appears  to  have  been  the 
crater  of  the  exhausted  volcano  which  constitiites  the  island ;  the  bottom  is 
pretty  uear  on  a  level  with  the  town. 

The  anchorage  in  the  road  of  St.  Kustatia,  is  none  of  the  best ;  there  is  a  swell 
when  llie  wind  blows  from  the  S.  E,  on  Ttrr ;  beaides  the  landing  is  vm  difficult 
^n  account  of  the  great  apd  coutitaal  brcaki.igof  tli?  waves  against  the  shore.

St.  Martiu'N  an  island  alwit  ns  long  as  St.  Uarihohniew,  but  wifler,  is  Fcpa- 
rated  from  it  by  acharr  cl  2  leagues  broad;  in  the  middle  of  the  W.  entrance 
of  this  channel,  4  miles  \\.  N.  \V.  from  the  north  point  of  St  Bartholomew  lies 
a  large  rock  surrouudeil  with  many  otiieis  above  wafer.  This  islanil  contains  a 
great  number  of  mountains,  or  rather  huge  rocks  covered  with  heath  which  can 
be  seen  above  10  leagues  off.  The  west  side  is  pretty  low  along  the  sea  shore 
for  about  2  leagues.  The  sea  is  rarol y  dislurbed,  and'  the  anchorage  safe  every 
•whereabout  the  island,  especially  with  a  N.  E.  wind. 

Ou  the  west  side  lies  the  Dutch  town,  whose  harbour  hnsS,  0  or  10  fathoms, 
good  eandy  ground.  Near  it  are  three  salt  ponds,  where  they  make  a  great 
quantity  of  salt.  You  may  rpnge  the  westcriimeni  point  of  St.  Mnrtiu's  within 
2  miles,  and  nearer,  and  have  from  30  to  55  fathoms,  rocky  ami  corally  ground.

Anguilla  lies  K.  by  N.  {  N.  and  \V.  by  S.  ^S.  above  two  leagues  to  the  north 
of  St.  Martin's;  it  is  a  low,  flat,  and  withered  island,  without  any  mcuDtniDS,8o 
that  it  cannot  be  seen  further  offlhan  4  or  5  leagues.  The  anclwring  ground  is

TUE  ISLANDS  OF  SANTA  CRUZ,  ST.  JOHN,  ST.  THOMAS^ 
,     •  BIEQUE,  &c. 

SANTA  CRUZ,  or  St.  Croix,  is  the  southernmost  of  the  Virgin  islands;  it 
lies  \V.  by  N.  from  sandy  point,  in  St.  Kilt's,  distance  33  leagues.  The  island 
is  not  very  high,  btit  fullof  hummor.ks,two  of  wliicli  (on  the  east  side)  arehighev 
than  all  the  rest.  It  is  of  a  triangular  form,  its  length  being  about  8  leagues, 
aud  the  greatest  breadth  2  leagues.  On  the  S.  £.  end  is  a  flat,  stretching  a 
great  iray  into  thu  sea ;  the  wliole  south  side  is  bordered  with  reefs  and  shoals, 
which  mike  it  dangerous  to  come  near. 

Santa  Cruz  is  b;»dly  watered.  The  chief  town  called  Christianslaid,  is  situ- 
ated at  the  bottom  of  a  bay  on  the  nortli  coa^t,  under  the  cannons  of  a  fortress 
whith  defends  the  principdl  harbour.  The  other  town,  uamed  Fridrichstaed, 
lies  on  the  west  side. 

From  ihe  town  of  Christianstied,  to  the  S.  W.  point  of  St.  John's  island  the 
course  is  N.  by  E.  about  ti  leagues.  In  the  cliannel  about  6  miles  S.  by  W.  of 
this  point,  lies  a  remarkable  round  Mck,  called  Bird's  key,  or  French  key, 
which  in  about  one  quarter  as  large  as  Redondo  near  Mouserrat. 

St.  John's  is  2  leagues  broad,  and  4  in  length  ;  it  is  the  best  watered  among 
the  Virgin's,  nnrt  its  harbour  on  the  east  side  of  the  island,  passes  for  the  best  to 
the  leeward  of  .Antiajua. 

The  east  point  of  this  harbour  is  called  Moor's  point,  and  is  of  a  moderate 
size;  but  the  walls  of  the  fortress,  which  are  all  white,  may  be  sen.i  7  or  K 
leagues  oflT.  You  have  regular  soundings  from  a  little  without  the  Moors  poiut 
quite  into  the  harbour,  from  10  to  5  fathoms  water.  The  mouth  of  the  harbour 
is  not  quite  half  a  mile  bread,  and  oiT  the  lee  or  west  side  there  is  a  key,  with  a 
reef  from  the  inside  of  it,  tliat  mas  to  the  southward.  As  the  entrance  of  the 
harbour  lies,  with  the  wind  any  thing  to  the  northward  of  cast,  you  may  lie  ia 
it;  but  if  the  wind  is  any  thing  to  thc^ southward  of  E.  S.  E.  you  myst  anchor 
without  the  point  and  warp  in.  The  Governor's  house,  and  part  of  the  town, 
are  not  above  half  a  mile  within  the  point  on  the  east  side ;  but  there  is  a  large 
harbour  with  lagoons,  &c.  You  anchor  within  a  j.  of  a  mile  of  the  weather  shore, 
Id  5  fathoms  water,  go'td  grounrl,  and  run  a  stream  anchor  to  the  S.  W.  by  rea- 
son of  the  land  bree//',  which  is  at  most  times  between  the  S.  S.  E.  south,  and 
S.  S.  W.  you  moor  N.  E.  and  S.  W.  When  you  are  here  the  harbour  is  wide 
and  large,  but  there  is  not  above  5  fathoms  within.  The  fortress  is  very  strong; 
there  is  besides  a  small  fort  u{)oa  llic  reef  that  runs  in  from  the  key  before  men- 
tioned. The  harbour  is  full  of  lagoons  aud  rivulets,  and  runs  a  long  way  to  the 
north  wanl. 

Observe,  in  coming  in,  to  leave  one  third  of  the  channel  to  windward  from 
Uie  Moor's  point,  and  two  thirds  to  leeward  towards  the  key,  ai:d  you  will  not 
have  less  than  5  fathoms  water. 

There  is  a  small  bank  which  does  not  shew  itself,  and  lies  right  ofTfrom  tlic 
g!ate,  a  cable's  length  from  shore,  with  only  10  feet  water  ou  it. 

The  watering  place  is  at  the  south  side  of  the  town,  just  without  the  south 
gate,  but  the  water  is  brackish. 

If  you  ai;e  bound  to  Portocico,  from  the  eastward,  night  coming  on,  and  you 
oA'the  E.  N.  K.  part  of  St.  John's,  you  will  take  notice  of  the  easternmost  high 
land }  it  is  inland  a  little  from  the  cast  end  of  the  island,  which  is  low.  You 
may  run  to  the  westward  till  you  bring  that  high  land  to  bear  S.  byE.  and  then 
bring  to  till  morning.  But  take  great  care  that  this  high  land  does  not  deceive 
you,  for  it  lies  a  long  way  iu  the  cuuutry,  and  it  is  all  low  land  by  the  water  sid?,

III  the  morning  make  sail ;  you  may  see  the  walls  and  works  all  white  aboiit 
Moore's  point. 

From  the  south  point  of  8t.  John's  island,  called  Ram's  head,  to  the  entrance 
of  St.  Thomas'  harbour,  the  course  i^  about  W.  G^  Iragucs;  and  fiom  the  N. 
side  of  Santa  Cruz,  N.  N.  \V.  ^J  N.  10  leagues.  Tlie  latitude  of  .St.  Thomas' 
town,  is  18"  2r5(}"N. 

The  island  of  St.  Thomas  is  about  the  length  of  St.  John's,  but  narrower. 
Its  soil  is  sandy  and  badly  watered.  The  principal  advantage  of  St.  Thomas' 
island  consists  in  a  very  good  harbour,  on  the  south  side,  wiiere  50  ships  may 
lie  very  secure. 

In  running  down  from  St.  John's  to  St.  Thomas'  harbour,  yoti  leave  French 
Jkey  to  tlie  soutliward  of  you,  and  you  continue  your  W.  N.  \V.  course  till  yon 
come  down  to  Buck  keys;  they  are  much  lower  and  longer  than  French  key, 
beforementinned,  and  there  is  a  small  opening  of  no  consequence  between  them. 
Vou  leave  these  keys  to  the  southward  of  you  *  about  one  mile,  and  thea  steer 
;X.  VV.  when  you  bring  them  S.  E.  and  continue  thatN.  W.  course  about  2  or 
3  miles,  till  you  bring  the  harbour  open ;  then  haul  in  for  the  town  N.  by  W. 
or  N.  N.  W,  giving  tlieeast  shore  all  along  a  good  birth,  and  run  within  |  a  mile 
of  the  fort  which  is  white  and  plainly  seen  at  the  east  of  the  town.  You  anchor 
in  5  fathoms  water,  fine  clear  ground ;  it  is  a  fine  harbour,  where  you  are  land- 
locked from  all  winds,  but  from  the  S.  by  W.  to  H.  E.  by  S.  which  part  lies  open 
to  the  sea;  but  the  wind  seldom  blows  in  unless  it  is  in  the  hurricane  months. 
Tlieri  is  a  rock  above  water  in  the  harbour's  mouth  (called  Prince  Rupert's 
cliff,)  which  you  leave  to  the  eastward  of  you ;  you  may  make  bold  with  the  west 
side  of  it.  but  there  is  no  passage  within. 

From  St.  Thomas'  harbour,  if  bound  to  Portorico,  being  in  the  offing,  steer 
W.  by  N.  till  you  come  down  the  length  of  the  west  end  of  the  island,  which  is 
«boiit  3  leagues  from  the  harbour.  You  will  see  a  small  island  called  Little 
passage,  about  4  or  5  miles  to  the  westward  of  the  west  end  of  Little  St.  Tho- 
uiHS.  LJttle  St.  Thomas  is  a  small  island  that  almost  joins  with  the  west  end  of 
the  Great  island ;  there  is  a  small  opening  between  them,  but  of  no  note.  There 
is  likewise  a  channel  of  shihII  importance  between  Little  passage  aad  Little  St. 
Thomas ;  but  there  are  two  other  islands  before  you  come  down  to  the  west  end 
of  that  island.  The  easternmost,  just  to  leeward  of  the  harbour  is  called  Wa- 
ter island,  and  almost  joins  with  the  main  land;  about  2  or  3  miles  to  leeward 
of  that,  is  a  rocky  island,  about  half  a  mile  round,  which  lies  a  mile  from  tli« 
shore,  and  is  called  Little  Saba  ;  it  is  foul  all  round,  and  must  have  a  go«cl  birthj 
all  the  shore  along  these  islands  must  be  left  on  your  starboard  hand.  In  run- 
ning down  till  you  pass  Little  passage,  you  have  soundings  all  the  way,  but  deep 
in  some  places. 

VV,  8.  W.  i-  S.  from  the  month  of  St.  Thomas'  harbour,  above  4  leagoeg,  and 
S.  W.  by  S.  7  miles  from  the  west  point  of  the  island,  lies  a  remarkable  rock  in 
(he  middle  of  the  channel.  It  is  round,  rugged,  and  double  pointed,  as  high  as 
Beachy-head,  and  may  be  seen  5  or  0  leagues  off,  being  all  white;  it  appears  at 
some  distance  like  a  sail,  whence  it  has  been  called  St.  Thomas'  carvel,  or  St. 
Thomas'  hoy.     This  rock  is  bold  too  all  round. 

Two  leagues  and  a  Imlf  from  the  carvel  is  Great  passage  island,  bearing  west 
from  the  west  cndof  St.  Thomas  about  4  leagues.  Several  keys  ant!  rocks  lie 
round  this  island,  and  chiefly  to  the  westward  of  it ;  they  are  cnlled  the  Tropic 
keys,  from  the  great  number  of  tropic  birds  breeding  there.  Great  passage  isl- 
and must  hive  a  large  birth;  the  channel  between  the  two  passage  islands  is  near 
3  leagues  broad  :  keep  nighest  the  little  one  to  the  eastward,  leaving  all  the 
others  to  tlic  southward. 

*  The  channel  between  the  main  island  and  Buck  ii^lanil  U  but  1^  mile  brofid,  and  at  the 
entrance,  in  the  fair  way,  lies  a  sunken  rook,  above  half  e  mile  north  from  t^e  north  enH 
of  B(ick  islanH,  with  only  5  feet  wain  on  it

Little  |)a88:)ge  islaml  iis  2  miles  in  length,  and  about  »s  lnj;li  as  fiaibadocs^  Ureal 
pasbage  itslaod  is  about  the  same  iieiglit,  and  iliree  times  as  !ong  as  the  loiiiier; 
there  are  two  or  three  small  iblands  a  little  to  tlie  northward  ol  Little  passage 
island. 

The  course  through  tlie  passage  islands  is  N.  W.  or,  if  you  have  but  little 
■wind  keep  N.  H.  VV.  for  fear  of  a  calm,  and  lee  current,  the  west  side  being 
foul,  and  dangerous  without  wind.  You  must  keep  that  N.  W.  course  till  you 
bring  the  E.  N.  E.  point  of  Portorico,  which  is  a  low  point,  to  bea-  W.  by  S. 
or  W.  S.  \V.  and  then  you  may  steer  west,  which  course  will  carry  you  to  St. 
Juan,  the  chief  town  ol  Portorico.  From  the  west  end  of  Little  passage  island 
to  Spill  staff's  keys,  which  lie  2  leajiues  from  the  N.  E.  end  of  Portorico,  the 
course  is  W.  N.  W.  9  leagues  ;  and  the  shoalest  water  5  fathoms. 

S.  W.of  St.  Thomas'  harbtnir,  7  or  8  leagues,  and  3  or  4  south  of  Great  pas- 
sage island,  lies  the  island  of  Bieque,  called  also  Crab  island,  from  the  great 
quantity  of  crabs  liiat  are  found  there.  It  is  about  as  high  as  Marygahote,  with 
a  rich  soil,  and  full  of  trees  almost  all  over.  The  west  end  on  the  N .  £.  part,  is 
low  and  smooth  land,  like  sandy  ground ;  but  towards  the  S.  W.  there  are  hills, 
and  from  those  hills  to  the  west,  low  broken  hummocks ;  then  to  the  S.  W.  high- 
er hills  and  hummocks.  From  the  west  end  of  Little  passas^e  island  to  the  east  . 
end  of  Crab  island,  the  course  is  S.  |  W.  5  leagues;  5 J  fathoms  1  mile  from 
the  shore.  In  going  to  Crab  island,  be  sure  to  run  down  the  south  side  of  it, 
for  the;  north  part  is  fuul.  You  may  sail  within  2  or  3  miles  of  the  short  all  the 
way  down,  till  you  come  to  the  west  end,  and  then  you  will  see  a  low  sandy 
point ;  anchor  on  the  south  side  of  that  point :  you  will  not  have  above  3|  or  4 
fathoms  2  miles  off.  You  may  run  in  till  you  bring  that  low  sandy  point  to  bear 
N.  by  £.  i  E.  and  the  south  point  of  the  bay  S.  E.  th^-u  you  will  be  I^  mile 
from  the  shore,  in  4  fathoms  water.  Here  is  plenty  of  fish  to  be  caught  with  a 
seine,  on  the  north  side  of  the  low  sandy  point,  in  "the  morniug,  and  good  wood 
of  different  kinds ;  waler  is  to  be  had  about  half  a  ndlc  to  the  southward  of  the 
low  sandy  point,  a  little  way  frou the  ircsl  side. 

Crab  island  lies  about  5  leagues  from  Portorico,  being  5  or  6  leagues  long, 
and  2  broad.  It  is  uninhabited ;  the  English,  who  have  attempted  twice  to 
settle  there,  have  been  driven  away  by  the  Spaniards. 

THE  ISLANDS  OF  TORTOLA,  VIRGIK  GORDA,  ANEGADA.&c. 

TORTOLA,  a  few  miles  to  the  eastward  of  St.  John's  is  the  principal  of  the 
English  VI  :  *.n  islands ;  it  is  ne«r  5  leagues  long,  and  2  broad,  but  badly  w'a- 
tererl,  and  has  the  name  of  being  unhi-uithy ;  the  cotton  which  they  culti\ate 
there  is  very  much  esteemed  by  the  manufacturers. 

The  town  is  situated  on  the  south  side,  at  the  bottom  oi  n  bay,  2  miles  deep, 
"with  a  pretty  good  road  at  the  entrance,  with  1 2  fathoms  water,  good  ground. 

Virgin  Gorda,  (that  is  the  Great  Virgin.)  or  Peniston,  and  by  a  corruption 
generally  adopted  Spanish  town,  lies  4  leagues  to  the  east  of  Tortola;  its  form 
is  very  irregular ;  it  is  very  high  land,  about  6  leagues  lotig  from  east  to  west, 
still  worse  watered  than  Tortola,  and  having  fewer  iuhabilaots,  who  cultivate 
tobacco,  indigo,  cotton,  and  pease ;  their  common  food  is  fish  and  potatoes,  they 
drink  rain  water,  which  they  keep  in  wooden  casks.  It  is  asBerted  that  the 
mountain  which  rises  in  the  middle  of  the  island  contains  a  silver  mine.  Virgin 
Gorda  has  two  good  harbours;  the  largest,  called  East  bay,  lies  on  the  north 
tade,  and  you  may  anchor  very  safe  at  the  bottom  of  it,  in  5  fathoms ;  the  other 
is  on  the  west  side,  where  the  town  is  situated  in  18"  18'  If.  lat. 

The  coarse  from  Saba  to  Virgin  Gorda  is  N..W.  by  W.  northerly,  above  21 
leagues.  When  Virgin  Gorda  bears  from  you  N.  W.  by  N.  7  leagues  off,  the 
Virgins  appear  like  three  i-daiids,  with  a  great  many  small  ones  about  themj 
the  middlemost  is  the  loosest,  and  when  you  come  withiaS  leagues,  they  seem 
as  if  they  were  joined  together.

To  the  S.  of  tlic  W.  end  of  Virgin  Gorda,  lies  the  Fallen  city,  or  Old  Jcntsa* 
lem,  a  parcel  of  liille  broken  isliwids,  and  rocks  just  above  water,  strc'trliing 
a1)out  3  leagues  Iron  \.  to  S.  at  their  S.  end  is  a  remarkable  rocky  island* 
called  Hound  rock ;  (he  next  island  is  called  Ginger  island  ;  between  v  hich  nud 
the  Hound  rock  is  the  eastern  passage  into  the  Virgin's  gangway,  called  the 
King's  channel ;  there  is  no  ground  in  the  pu^siigc  With  the  hand  lines. 

To  tlie  W.  of  Ginger  island  lie  several  flt4iall  islands,  called  Coo|)er*s  Salt. 
Peter's,  ^iormaiid's,  and  Witch  islands.  They  bound  the  Virgin's  gangway  on 
the  S.  as  the  islands  of  8t.  John's,  Tortola,  Beef,  with  Dug  island^',  and  Virgin 
Oorda,  terininutc  it  towards  tjic  W.  atid  IS".  The  <1eplh  in  the  Virgin's  gang- 
way is  from  lU  lo  25  fntliums.  It  is  about  8  leagues  long,  and  from  2  to  4 
hroad.  The  N.  entrance  lies  between  Dog  Island,  to  the  I',,  of  Tortola,  nnd  the 
IV.  W.  point  of  Virgin  Gorda,  being  ajjoul  half  a  league  broad ;  Oir  S.  entrance, 
whose  Jjn'adth  is  above  one  league,  is  between  St.  John's  and  Witch  isiand  : 
there  is  another  entrance  to  the  1^.  of  St.  John's,  scarce  a  mile  over,  which  ik 
the  western  passage  of  the  King's  channel  befoie  mentioned. 

Three  or  four  leagues  to  the  north  of  Virgin  Gorda,  lies  Ancgada,  or  the 
Drowned  island,  aboui  as  big  hs  the  fust.  This  island  is  very  low,  and  almost 
covered  by  the  sea  at  the  his;tiest  tides.  You  may  discern  over  it  two  high 
tiiils  on  Virgin  Gorda,  which  appear  like  a  great  hummock.  As  Anegada  pio- 
jects  out  of  the  cluster  of  the  Virgin's,  ilic  rocks  an<lshouls  with  which  it  is  sur- 
rounded become  so  niutli  more  dangerous  lo  ships  in  the  ofTing.  The  Bocfa- 
neers  have  given  the  name  of  Tiuubiire  Point  to  a  headland  on  the  south  si«le, 
that  has  been  often  dug  to  discover  the  gold  and  silver  whieh  they  supposed  the 
Spaniards  Iir«I  buried  there  after  the  shipwreck  of  one  of  their  galleons.  I'rom 
the  E.  side  of  Ancgada,  a  very  dangerous  reef,  with  only  6  feet,  and  in  some 
parts  2  feet  water  on  it,  e.xtends  in  a  curve  towards  llie  S.  E.  above  4  leagues. 
The  course  between  the  reef  and  Virgin  Gorda,  is  N.  W.  and  W.  by  hi.  or  W. 
but  you  must  take  care  of  a  sunken  rock,  which  lies  almost  iu  the  middle  of  thte 
eotrance  of  the  uarrows,  between  that  island  and  Anegada. 

THE  ISLAND  OF  SOMBRERO.  .V 

BETWEEN  the  Virgin  islands,  and  that  of  Angidlla,  lies  a  small  rocky 
Jsland  alKJUt  2  miles  in  length ;  it  consists  of  a  very  flat  eminence,  without  any 
Iiunimock  upon  it,  covered  with  birds  from  the  southward.  You  cannot  descry 
this  island  lurther  off  than  5  or  6  leagues  at  most. 

This  wretched  island  is  i  "ggcd,  steep,  and  barren ;  a  little  camphire  and  grass 
are  the  only  vegetable  prmluction  that  appear  on  its  surface;  what  little  water 
lodges  in  the  cavities  of  roclis  during  rains  soon  evaporates.  You  mav  anchor 
on  the  west  side  of  it.  The  cliffs  are  steep  to,  and  are  from  40  to  13  feet  high. 
In  1792  an  American  brig  run  against  it,  and  her  c!«w  crept  from  her  yard  arm 
to  the  cliff  top.  The  brig  disengage<l  iierself  and  drifted  down  to  Virgin  Gorda 
where  the  hull  and  cargo  became  a  prize  to  the  wreckers. 

The  latilude  of  Sombrero,  is  18°  38'  N.  and  its  lougitude  is  CS*  30'  W.  from 
London.  Two  hvipncf  off  Sombrero,  when  it  bears  from  E.  N.E.  to  E.  by  S, 
is  found  Irom  35  lo  2'2  fatlioms,  uneven  ground  and  rocky  bottom. 

Sombrero  lies  abont  10  leajjues  flue  E.  from  Anegada,  and  in  going  betweeu 
the  two,  you  have  5,  6  7,  H,  an.I  10  fathoms  Water.  The  course  from  Saba  to 
Sombrero  is  N.  W.  by  N.  i  ?f.  20  Ica-Mies. 

The  pafsage  to  leeward  or  windward  of  Sombrero,  is  very  clear  and  safe; 
(here  is  no  8«eli;  the  winds  are  gmrraliy  favourable  for  going  out;  and  wbea 
once  you  are  past  Somlrero,  all  obstacles  are  at  an  end. 

Directions  /or  sailing  along  the  south  side  of  Portorico. 

If  you  r-re  bound  down  the  south  side  of  Portorico,  obst  rve  you  will  see  the 
,  E.  point  of  that  island,  when  lying  at  anc'ior  at  Crab  island  ;  it  hears  from

which  tlwycall  Guyama  or  Yama  bay,  is  much  frequented  by  traders.  I.i 
going  in,  althougli  you  give  the  W.  end  of  the  breach  a  good  birth,  you  must

THE  north  coast  of  Fortoiico,  whici'.  tixteiuli',  likp  tlie  sbnlh  coast,  enst  md 
AVf  Jt,  \i  veiy  little  known.  It  is  nigfit.d  and  uiieveu,  liaviiig  many  foc-kn  and 
smnll  inlands,  whire  the  sea  beats  honielimcs  witli  violence.  On  tliat  coast, 
about  1 2  leagtw  B  IVom  the  N.  E.  point,  is  the  town  of  St.  Juan,  the  capital  of  the 
island.  It  is  the  sec  ot'abisliop,  large,  and  mcII  built,  and  defended  by  several 
»trong  foils.  They  have  no  wat*;!',  except  raiH.  which  they  preserve  in  cisterns. 
This  place  is  better  iiihabite<!  than  most  Spanish  cities  in  the  West  Indie-,  bein"; 
the  centre  of  the  coutrabaod  trade  carried  on  by  the  Eii^''*''  *"^  Frenc'^  with 
the  Bubiects  of  Spahi,  notwithstanding  the  severity  of  the  laws,  and  the  extraor- 
dinary precautions  taken  to  prevent  it.  The  harbour  of  St,  Juan  is  very  capa- 
cious, and  tlie  lavgesl  bhip*  may  lie  there  with  the  utmost  safety,  in  5,  6,  and  7 
fathoms  water.  The  entrance  is  aloD<»  the  eastern  island  (eallet!  Rigo  or  Rigoa,) 
near  wliich  you  must  s;^il  by  reason  of  a  shoal  hat  stretches  on  the  opposite  side. 
Oa  the  point  of  the  said  Island  stands  the  Mono  Castle ;  and  on  the  west  side, 
upou  a  rof,!i  oir  ll«e  Sandy  point  stands  a  lillfe  square  fort  called  el  Caouelo  ; 
you  mtv.'.  nin  to  the  eastward  of  the  city,  to  lie  out  of  the  wash  of  the  sea,  for  the 
trade  viml  blows  right  in.  Off  the  N.  E.  point  of  the  island'lie  several  islands, 
the  'argest  whereof  is  called  Cagada.  The  next  to  the  westward  is  Canoba, 
the  river  within  retaining  !  '■<  sanu  name.  To  the  wf  stward  of  this  lies  Point 
lioquilla,  which  receives  its  name  from  the  mountain  Loq'alla  :  then  river  Ltv 
qiiillu,  right  before  whi<<.h  lie  two  rocks  above  v  rU't.  Then  follows  a  rreek  call- 
ed Bequiario»  and  the  island  Rigo,  which  lies  before  the  harbour  of  Portorico. 
Westward  of  the  harbour  called  h  Caleca,  and  just  in  its  entrance,  is  a  rirer  and 
iklaud  called  Fassays,  which  reaches  with  a  flat  from  the  west  poiut.

Hic  S-  and  S.  K.  pi*rts. 

The  N,  and  N.  N.  W.  parts  have  some  keys,  with  no  more  than  tl  or  9  feet 
water,  and  perhaps  less  ;  butt  it  appears  that  these  keys  are  not  exactly  on  the

white  ;>ruund8.  The  B'.  ur  rather  the  N.  £.  educ  is  very  dangerous.  In  this 
part  tliPie  arc  3  keys,  within  a  cable's  length  of  the  edge,  which  have  not  more 
than  lUor  12  I'cct  water. 

The  wf  !>t  ide  is  safe,  and  there  is  a  great  depth  of  wafer ;  but  abotit  1 J  Iraguc 
on  the  e;ist  siile  the  liottoni  decreiises,  and  you  see  shoals  in  the  M.  E.  which  are 
pisi  !";  very  near  the  surface. 

Sl)i|)s  ought  never  to  venture  within  any  part  of  the  white  grounds  where  you 
will  oltf'n  fall  froni  14  fathoms  to  iO  leot;  if  by  accident  they  find  themselves 
in  tiie  middle  of  them,  the  best  way  is  to  tack,  aiid  go  out  the  same  way  they 
came  in,  i-^uging  along  the  grounds. 

S^'aould  you  by  any  circumstatices  be  forced  to  go  from  C8|)e  Francois  through 
fche  pussage  between  the  Square  Handkerchief  and  the  Silver  Keys  you  must 
at  the  departure  make  your  course  good  N.  l^  by  E.  and  E.  N.  E.  If  the 
winds  sutilr  you  to  steer  that  covirse,  yi,||  ^  oiild  pass  in  the  mid  channel  but 
if  you  are  forced  to  turn  asid  joii  would  not  p«'t  si^ht  «f  the  St.  Domingo  shore, 
after  you  have  oncf  got  into  tiir  longitude  of  70*  15'  W.  from  Lontlon,  you  must 
not  pass  the  lat.  of  20*  25'  without  frequently  heaving  the  lead.  If  you  come 
as  far  as  20"  .35'  without  getting  ground,  you  have  iiolhing  to  frav  from  the  Sil- 
ver keys,  a;id  must  only  look  out  for  the  Stiiiarc  Handkerchief,  which  is-  not  dan- 
gerous on  the  south,  the  bottom  giving  you  iio'icein  10  and  15  fathoms.  You 
ntust  continue  to  get  to  the  eastward,  and  when  you  come  in  the  lat.  of  21"  20V 
you  are  entirely  out  of  the  passage. 

The  Silver  key  is  1 1  leagues  long,  E.  and  W.  and  7  leagues  broad,  N.  and  S. 
ill  the  greatest  dimension.  The  westernmost  part  lies  N.  and  S.  from  Old  Cape 
Francois. 

Tlie  Square  Handkerchief,  and  the  Silver  keys,  bear  from  each  other  S.  F.. 
and  N.  \V.  The  channel  between  the  two  is  very  safe,  and  14  leagues  in 
bread  h. 

You  experience  on  the  edges  of  the  shoals  weak  currents,  which  geiwrally  foU 
low  the  directions  of  those  edges  On  the  Square  Haudkerchief  they  arc  scarce- 
ly felt ;  on  the  S.  E.  part  of  the  Silver  keys  you  find  them  setting  to  the  W.  and 
N*  W.  but  a  short  league  from  the  ground,  their  eflfect  is  not  perceivable. 

In  general,  you  ought  not  to  mind,  in  your  reckoning,  the  weak  currents  which 
exist  io  thfcse  passages,  they  being  no  where  to  be  feared. 

Directions Jbr  Turks  Island  Passage. 

THIS  passage  is  the  nearest,  shortest,  and  least  dangerous  of  any,  for  ships 
Koine;  from  Hispaniola  ;  but  iu  general  the  winds  will  not  allow  to  make  it  even 
from  Cape  Francois,  or  Port  Dauphin,  although  they  are  the  nearest  ports ;  the 
winds  being  commonly  easterly,  it  is  difficult  to  fetch  Sand  key  (the  southern- 
most of  the  Turks  islands)  and  which  you  must  make,  that  you  may  be  sure  of 
tlie  Fs9sagc ;  for,  without  seeing  it,  you  run  a  great  risk  of  getting  upon  the  reefs 
and  shoals  of  the  Caycos  bank,  which  are  not  thoroughly  koQWUf 

When  you  lake  your  departure  from  Cape  Francois,  if  the  wind  will  permit 
you,  make  a  N.  £.  course  about  30  leagues;  you  will  then  be  in  lat.  21*  02^, 
and  in  sight  of  the  Turks  islands. 

The  Endymion  rock  lies  S.  W.  by  S.  from  the  body  of  Sand  key,  distance  8  or 
9  miles.  The  danger  of  this  shoal  is  but  of  small  extent.  It  consists  of  7  or  8 
heads  of  rocks,  one  of  which  has  only  81  feet  water  on  it  ;  this  is  the  rock 
where  the  English  ship  Endymion  was  wrecked  on  the  28th  of  August,  1 7flo, 
and  UU  then  uodiscoveied.    Some  of  the  other  rocks  hare  2,  .*],  and  4  fatiboas

CO,  as  also  of  the  rucks  wliich  are  oil' the  north  poiut  of  the  Great  salt  key. 

The  Caycos  Passage. 

THIS  is  the  otdy  Passage  you  ought  to  take,  condug  out  of  Cape  Franco!?, 
when  the  win;ls  are  not  steady  from  the  E.  H.  E.  You  will  always  go  with  a 
large  wind,  w  b'ich  is  a  great  advantage,  and  will  avoid  all  the  white  grounds  to 
the  H.  E.  of  tlie  ('aycos  which  it  is  cu^lolllary  to  make.  This  method  of  condng 
into  the  wbiie  grounds  is  very  bad,  and  very  d-4nn«;rou.s  whereas  there  is  no  risk, 
in  makin::  the  Innd  wnic  leagues  to  leeward  cf  the  Litile  Cayco. 

In  let*  ii;:  the  Cape  yon  must  steer  a  N.  by  VV.  course,  and  after  having  run 
3^  leagues  you  will  find  yourself  2^  leagues  S.  \V.  of  the  Little  Cayco;  then 
you  may  h ml  your  wind,  lirst  as  high  as  iiortii  only,  on  accmutt  of  the  reefs  ol' 
Sandy  island,  whicii  lies  to  the  north  of  the  Little  Cnyco :  after  which  you 
nny  steer  JN.  by  E.  .5  or  0  leagues,  when  you  may  haul  up  N.  E.  or  may  con- 
tinue to  steer  north  without  atiy  fear.  After  having  run  10  or  12  leagues  ou 
tliat  coui-ue,  you  arc  out  of  the  I'assnge. 

Jf,  when  you  arc  two  IcagiK's  S.  W.  of  the  Little  Cayco,  the  winds  do  not 
permit  yoa  to  steer  N'.  by  E.  or  to  make  a  good  north  course  ;  after  having  run 
Vi  leagues,  without  getting  ^ight  of  Mogane  island  M.ayaguana)  the  best  way,  if 
Dight  comes  on,  is  to  tack  and  stand  S.  E.  3  or  4  leagues,  then  tack  again  to  the 
oortli,  and  you  will  weather,  by  .'1  or  4  leagues,  the  breakers  off  the  cast  point 
of  Mogaue.  If,  w  hen  you  are  to  the  S.  \V.  of  the  Little  Cayco,  2  or  3  leagues, 
the  wind  will  not  suTer  you  to  lay  north,  you  must  not  attempt  to  go  to  the 
win  iward  of  Mogane,  but  go  to  fetch  the  channel  between  it  and  the  Isles 
Plates,  or  Flat  islands.  You  must  steer  for  it  N.  \V.  3°  N.  Having  run  18 
leagues,  you  are  io  sight  of  the  west  point  of  Mc^aue,  winch  ought  to  be  north 
ef  you,  about  two  leagues  distant,  you  do  not  run  any  risk  in  approaching  this 
point,  which  is  safe ;  a  small  white  shoal  runs  olTftom  it,  with  three  fathoms  wa- 
ter almost  close  to  the  shore.  When  you  have  doubled  Mogane  West  Point,  so 
as  to  bring  it  to  bear  east,  you  may,  if  the  wind  permits,  steer  north.  In  that 
case  you  will  pass  3  or  4  leagues  to  tiie  u  indward  of  Samana  island  ;  but  if  your 
course  is  not  better  than  N.  by  VV.  after  having  ran  on  12  or  13  leagues,  and 
tite  night  comes  on  before  you  can  see  Samaria,  tack,  and  stand  on  for  5  or  0 
leagues;  then  make  good  a  I?,  by  \V,  course  on  the  other  tack,  and  you  will 
weather  the  eastern  breakers  or  Atwood's  key.  or  Samana  Island,  at  3  leagues. 
Bhould  you  be  two  leagues  from  the  West  point  of  Mogane,  and  the  wind  will 
pennit  you  to  ciake  only  a  N.  N".  W.  course,  after  having  rut)  6  leagues  on  that 
course,  you  will  see  the  Flat  islands,  bearing  VV.  N.  W.  2  leagues ;  then  you 
may  pass  to  windward  or  leeward  of  (hem,  as  the  wind  may  admit ;  when  you 
are  come  1^  or  two  leagues  north,  or  JN".  E.  of  the  Great  flat  island,  you  roaj'

but  very  close  to  the  shore,  there  is  a  sniall  lagoun  of  fresh  water,  supplied  cu- 
tirily  by  the  lain. 

Little  lleiieaga  lies  to  the  leeward  of  (he  Little  Cayco,  and  is  seldom  seen  by 
navigators,  whose  wish  is  always  to  rroi-s  thtti  Archipelago  as  quick  ns  possible  t 
fieverthelei-s,  ns  you  may  have  a  N.  K.  wind  in  (he  mitl-chaniiel  between  the 
Caycos  and  8t.  Doiuiiigoi  it  is  requisite  you  should  know  the  east  side  of  the 
Great  and  Little  lleneaga. 

Little  llcneiiga  bears  W.  8"  S.  from  die  Little  Caycn,  9  leagues;  it  Is  rather 
low,  and  very  much  like  the  islniuls  above  descrilMul,  it  leaves  a  very  deep 
channel  of  If  league  between  it  and  the  north  part,of  Great  lleneaga  ;  die  two 
sides  are  steep  within  a  cable's  length  of  the  sliore  ;  at  the  same  length  from  the 
shore  you  may  go  within  a  mile  ol  any  part  of  Little  Henenga.  There  is  « 
small  reef,  which  does  not  run  a  mile,  off  the  S.  E.  part ;  and  on  the  foulli  siiln 
a  white  bottom,  bordered  with  a  rctf,  at  the  foot  of  wlilcli  you  will  have  40  fa- 
thorns.  If  you  should  be  drove  by  the  winds  near  Little  lleneaga,  and  should 
find  yourself  to  the  N.  E.  of  the  East  point,  oue  or  two  leagues  off,  you  o(if;lit 
then  10  steer  N.  N.  W.  l."*  leagues,  to  come  two  lenpurs  south  of  the  Wctt  point 
of  Mugane,  from  whence  you  arc  to  proceed  as  already  said. 

The  Kast  coast  of  the  Great  Heneaga,  is  bordered  with  a  reef;  it  runs  in  a 
N.  N.  E.  and  S.  S  W.  direction,  0  leagues ;  then  W.  by  S.  9  leagues,  and  joins 
the  Point  called  Pointe  des  Paille-cuculs,  off  which  a  reef  extends  2  miles  into 
the  sea. 

Leaving  Cajie  Francois,  you  generally  find  the  wind  ;it  S,  E.  or  E.  S.  E.  and 
near  the  shore  the  cwrent  runs  to  wind-  ird  ;  these  are  two  powerful  induce- 
ments to  engage  you  to  steer  N.  E.  or  N.  N  E.  for  (he  Turks  Island  Passage  : 
but  about  10  or  11  o'clock  the  wind  generally  turns  round  to  the  North,  and 
sometimes  as  far  as  N.  E.  Being  then  5  or  U  leagues  from  the  coast,  and  the 
current  no  longer  felt,  yoa  must  necessarily  make  the  White  Grounds  to  the 
southward  of  the  Caycos.  So  many  ships  are  lost  there,  by  the  greediness  of 
getting  20  leagues  to  windward,  which  are  txarce  an  object,  and  when  the  risk 
is  evident,  that  this  consideration  should  induce  navigators,  when  they  set  suit 
from  Cape  Francois,  to  steer  at  once  for  the  Little  Cayco,  as  before  ol'«crvcd  .^ 

s    .  The  Caycos.  v;         • 

TnE  Caycos  are  an  assemblage  of  several  islands  and  islots,  which  inclose  a 
white  shoaJ,  some  part  of  which  are  very  shallow,  and  others  tolerably  deep ; 
there  are  four  principal  islands — viz.  The  Great  Cayco,  the  North  Cayco, 
the  N.  W.  Cayco,  or  Providenciers  island,  aud  the  Little  Cayco ;  they  form  .a 
semi-circle  from  the  E-  to  the  W.  coining  by  the  N.;  and  are  termin.iteil  on  the 
S.  part  by  a  great  bank,  on  which  you  will  find  from  3  to  15  feet  water. 

The  north  part  of  these  islands  is  bordered  with  a  white  shoal,  on  which  is  a 
reef  extending  only  half  a  league  from  shore;  in  the  N".  E.  part  of  (he  white 
shoal,  runs  out  in  a  point,  a  whole  league,  and  at  its  extremity  is  a  reef,  called 
Basse  St.  Philip|!>ip,  (St  Philip's  shoul)  on  which  the  sea  breaks  with  violence  : 
at  a  cable's  length  to  the  north,  and  the  east  of  this  shoal,  you  will  not  have  less 
than  1  fathoms.  South  of  it  the  white  bottom  runs  to  the  south,  and  approaches 
insensibly  towards  the  shore;  you  find  4  or  6  fathoms  between  it  and  the  shore^

The  eB8t  coast  of  the  GrenI  I'a^co,  and  the  uctt  coast  of  the  Little,  arc  safo 
and  bold  to  williiii  half »  lca)(ui-  of  the  Hliore. 

From  the  begliiniiif;  of  tin:  houiIi  |M)iui  of  the  LUtlu  Cayoo,  «  chain  of  break,  rft 
extendi  to  the  cast  3  leagues,  after  Mliich  they  derrcaRC,  and  run  (uv.ards  llitr 
Boutli,  tojoiu  a  Hand}'  itiot,  i.illeil  French  key.  Tliitt  it>  low.  with  some  l)u^lleB 
•a  it,  and  bears  from  the  i>ouih  point  of  l.ittic  C:i}co  E.  S  £.  6  leai^nes.  Thn 
reef  from  the  French  key  sin  icwn,  to  the  south  7^  liagtiesio  join  another  Handy 
islot,  which  has  not  more  than  20  i>;ice8  exlc!it,  hikI  is  eiilircl)  drowm  d  ii  )*iv'h« 
water:  all  this  purt  of  the  reef  w  b«)ld,  aiid  as  the  water  breaks  pccVy  liong 
upon  it,  you  eabil}  see  it  in  timr;  but  xouth  of  the  »andy  ihlni  there  are  no 
breakers,  and  jnii  cannot  have  notice  of  the  edge  of  the  baiikbu<  by  the  white- 
ness of  tli«  water. 

From  this  sandy  islot  the  bank  runs  a  short  leaf^uc  to  the  south,  then  to  the  H. 
£.  8  leagues,  when  it  treuchcH  to  the  N.  E.  and  afterwards  runs  S.  b.  E.  two 
leagues,  till  abreast  of  the  southrrn  islolt',  which  arc  situated  a  league  witliiu  the 
white  water.     These  islots  are  within '21"  10'  rioith  latitude. 

From  the  sandy  ibiots  as  far  as  abreast  of  the  sduthcrn  ones,  the  bank  is  very 
dangerous ;  you  cannot  see  any  land,  and  come  suddenly  from  a  sea  w  itiiout  bot- 
tom, into  2  or  3  fathoms.  The  colour  of  the  water  is  (he  only  thing  that  can- 
waru  you  of  the  danger,  and  this  iiiby  no  means  certain,  for  navigators  accustom- 
ed to  see  on  the  surface  of  the  water  the  shadow  of  riouds,  which  sometinies  has' 
the  appearance  of  shoals,  are  often  lulled  into  u  fatal  security.  Nu  motive  then 
•ught  to  induce  you  to  approach  this  part  of  the  bank,  and  you  will  do  right  to 
keep  at  a  good  distance. 

II  after  having  been  turning  to  windward  several  dnys  in  this  neighbourhood, 
you  have  uot  seen  the  |au<l,  the  safest  way  is  never  to  cross  the  latitude  of  21 " 
in  the  uight,  but  to  wait  for  day  light ;  theu  should  you  |)erceivc  any  change  in 
the  water,  which  indicates  white  grounds,  without  he(;ing  neither  land  nor  break- 
ers, you  may  be  sure  you  are  on  the  west  side ;  then  you  may  steer  N.  \V.  and 
N.  W.  \  \V.  to  fetch  the  Little  C^yco,  and  go  thrviugh  the  passage  to  leeward 
of  these  islands.  Should  you  see  the  southern  islots  bearing  about  N.  or  N.  ^V . 
you  may  stand  on  upon  the  white  water  in  from  7  to  |2  fnihoms ;  tlien  make  a 
tack  or  two  to  ^etto  windward,  and  go  through  the  Turks  island  passage,  which 
)b  to  wiiidwavd  of  the  Caycos. 

As  souQ  as  you  sec  4he  i^outliern  islots  the  bank  is  no  longer  dangerouo,  and 
you  may  go  on  it  as  fur  as  1  or  li  Icigues ;  S.  and  S.  W.  of  these  islands  yoti 
will  not  have  lessihan  7  fathoms,  and  generally  from  0  to  11. 

From  the  westernmost  of  the  southern  isint,  which  is  a  league  within  the  bank, 
to  the  easternmost,  the  bank  runs  first  south  3  leagues,  (hen  east  7,  afterwards 
north  2  leagues,  and  then  rounds  in,  tojoiu  a  large  island  to  the  northwestward, 
3  leagues. 

The  cliaruiel  between  the  Caycos  and  Turks  islands  is  6  leagues  across  in  the 
narrowest  part ;  it  is  a  good  passage,  and  without  any  dHnu;er ;  you  may  come 
within  half  a  league  of  the  Caycos,  and  on  the  east  side  of  tlx  islott  without  fear. 
Through  this  passage  you  may  tiun  with  great  safety,  and  will  not  feel  th*  cur- 
sent  if  you  do  not  come  within  14  leagues  of  the  shore. 

You  will  find  an  anchorage  on  the  white  slioals,  near  the  sou'h  point  of  the 
Great  Cayco,  which  may  shelter  ships  th^t  do  not  draw  more  thin  1 5  or  1 6  feet ; 
west  of  this  point  there  is  a  fresh  water  lagoon. 

The  best  anchorage  for  small  vessels  is  to  the  west  of  the  North  Ccyco,  neai- 
the  small  island  of  Pines  in  the  iulet,  which  that  island  makes  with  ProviHcn- 
ciers  island.  Within  the  reefs  that  border  that  part  of  the  coast,  lies  L'Ance  a 
a  L'Eau  (Water  rove)  where  you  anchor  in  3  fathoms,  upon  a  white  bottom  7 
there  is  good  water,  and  it  is  the  watering  place  of  the  Provitlenciers.  Ton 
will  discover  the  entrance  of  the  bay,  by  coasting  along  the  reef,  from  the  round- 
ing in  of  the  coast,  after  passing  the  west  point  of  the  Three  Maries,  or  Boody 
Focks.  When  you  perceive  a  great  extent  of  white  water  within  the  reef,  you 
Bust  send  yotu  boat  to  find  the  chauuel,  and  moor  her  is  it,  naking  un  of  yoac

you  are  once  within  Ihe  rcrf,  you  may  let  y;o  yon<-  anchor  in  3  fuduMns:  ymi 
may  go  further  in  by  towing  or  turuing  with  caution ;  the  eutraucc  is  sot  xmxt 
Ihitn  half  a  Ungue  or  two  miles  from  (he  fhore. 

W.  liy  8.  of  Hooby  rocks  point,  is  the  N.  W.  point  of  Providenclcrs  key  :  an4 
the  reef  tcrniiimtes  at  this  point,  Mhich  you  range  on  the  west  part  within  ^  of  a 
league.  You  may  anclmr  oil'  this  coxst  In  I  or  10  fxthoiUN  but  yoii  roust  range 
the  shore  pretty  close,  to  be  on  the  White  Shoals,  brinfii  ig  a  sleep  hummock, 
seen  \  league  inland,  to  hear  H.  W.  then  you  will  see  the  shoals  recede  a  Hide 
from  the  stwre,  and  anbrd  a  large  ttpare  for  the  turning  of  the  Hhip.  Four  udlea 
south  of  the  N.  W.  point  begins  a  reef,  wliich  comes  from  the  const,  running  Si. 
W.  ^  W.  2|  leagues;  this  reef  is  tcrniitiated  by  a  small  sandy  irlot,  almost  un- 
der water,  which  bears  S  W.  from  the  New  point  of  Pruvidencicrs  key,  ut  the 
distance  of  3  leagues. 

From  thin  snndy  ielot  the  reef  runs  into  the  castwitrd,  and  aftrrwar*  trrnrhes 
out  to  join  the  north  part,  or  the  Little  Caycu,  which  is  surrounded  with  white 
shoals.

N.  W.  part,  close  to  the  edge  of  the  white  grounds;  th«;  west  part  j   bold

bottom. 

^  * 

Mouchoir  Quarre,  or  the  Square  Handkerchief. 

THIS  shoal  is  very  dangerous,  and  has  much  more  exteut  than  the  cliarti 
generally  give  it.  It  bears  S.  E.  \  E.  true  north  of  Saud  key,  one  of  the  Turk'* 
islands,  distance  7  leagues  Upon  the  edge  of  the  white  ground  to  the  W.  S. 
W.  of  the  Square  Handkerchief,  as  far  as  the  S.  W.  you  will  have  from  11  to 
14  fathoms.  On  the  N.  W.  edge  there  is  a  key,  on  which  you  find  but  8  cr  10 
feet.  From  this  Khoal  the  bottom  runs  E.  by  N.  7  leagut-s  to  a  rocky  spot, 
where  the  water  breaks  with  great  violence.  It  is  natural  to  suppose  that  all 
this  interval  is  full  of  sunken  keys,  which  rcndeis  its  approach  very  dangeroiu ; 
on  the  S.  and  S.  W.  parts  the  grounds  give  warning,  and  you  will  find  from  10 
to  1 5  fathoms ;  however  the  best  way  is  to  bear  up,  and  pass  to  leeward,  uules* 
being  on  tlie  eastern  edge,  you  perC'iive  the  end  of  the  white  grounds,  and  cau 
weather  them  the  next  *ack. 

A  ship  entered,  on  the  3il  of  June,  1785.  at  6  o'clock  in  the  morning,  the 
white  grounds  of  (he  Square  Handkerchief,  on  the  S.  W,  edge,  and  found  from 
11  to  14  fathoms  smooth  coral  bottom.  Stood  to  the  N.  N.  £.  at  50  minutes  af- 
ter 7  ;  sounded  in  14  fathoms,  saw  a-head,  and  a  little  to  windward,  a  bottom 
which  appeared  nearer  the  surface ;  site  then  bore  up,  but  too  late,  for  she  waa 
stranded  on  a  key,  in  9  feet  water.  This  may  fhew  how  dangerous  it  would  be 
<o  run  on  these  grounds.  Clofc  to  the  N.  W.  edge  of  this  key,  she  could  not  get 
bottont  in  40  fatlioms.  This  key  lies  in  lat.  21*  5'  N.  and  long.  70»  43'  W.  from 
London.

IS  Ihe  longest,  but  it  is  far  the  most  convenient  for  ships  coming  out  of  the 
Bay  of  Oonaheeves,  or  from  the  southern  part  of  St.  Domingo,  and  for  those 
which  are  bound  to  New-Kngland.  You  commonly  take  your  departure  from 
Cape  St.  NirholHS,  and  bring  2  leagues  from  the  Cape,  in  the  offiag,  you  must 
steer  N.  by  W.  23  leagues,  to  make  the  S.  W  point  of  Great  Henesga;  then 
sailing  N.  by  W.  25  leagues,  it  will  bring  you  two  leagues  to  the  westward  of 
the  point. 

Great  Henea«;n,  like  all  the  islands  which  bound  the  paspages,  is  very  low,

The  islands  of  Acklin,  of  Fortune,  and  Crooked,  are  united  together  by  a 
white  ground,  which  surrounds  them  entirely.  This  ground  does  not  extend  in 
the  W.  side  more  than  half  a  league,  nnd  forms  in  the  bay  W.  of  Ackliu,  an 
anchorage  where  the  water  is  very  smooth. 

Fortune  island  cloes  not  offer  any  anchorage,  and  its  N.  W.side  is  covered  by 
a  reef,  ow  which  are  some  rocks  under  water,  outside  the  white  ground,  which 
rendei's  it  very  dangerous  to  approach. 

Crooked  island  has  au  anchornge  tolerably  good,  near  the  Bird  rock,  on  the 
W.  side.  This  island,  with  Fortune  island,  forms  a  deep  bay,  4  leagues  in 
depth,  at  the  bottom  of  which  is  anchorage,  near  Five  islets,  which  are  at  the 
titremlty  of  a  low  point,  belonging  to  Crooked  island,  and  join  the  X.  E.  end

Directions' /or  New- Providence  and  the  Bahama  Banks. 

NKW-PROVIDENCE,  whose  town,  called  Nassau  town,  is  in  25»  5'  lat. 
22°  long,  is  the  chief  of  all  the  Buhimia  islnmls.  and  lieii  K  aud  W.  about  10 
leagues  and  4  broad.  The  harbour  is  on  the  north  bide  (where  there  are  seve- 
ral keys)  between  the  island  and  liog  island. 

Troin  Providence  to  Frozen  key,  the  sflutlicasternniost  of  the  Berry  islauds. 
the  course  is  about  N.  W.  distance  10  or  11  leagues. 

From  this  key  to  N.  \V.  passage,  or  the  entrance  upon  the  hank,  between  the 
Blackwood  bush  and  Jo.vlter  keys,  at  the  north  en<l  of  Andres  island  is  about  8 
or  9  leagues:  as  the  bank  is  bound  with  a  reef  here,  you  must  pick  your  way 
through  that;  and  you  may  do  it  easily,  as  there  are  several  swashes,  which* 
thouuh  ihey  arc  narrow,  Jiave  no  less  than  1 1  or  12  feet  through.  The  water 
being  very  clear  in  this  part  of  the  world,  this  picking  one's  way  through,  a 
«hoal  is  attended  with  little  or  no  difTicully. 

When  yon  first  come  upon  tiie  bniik,  you  will  see  some  scattered  heads  of 
rocks  and  sponges;  but  there  being  no  danger  except  what  is  very  visible,  it  is 
sniTicient  to  tell  you  that  by  running  W.  S.  VV.  about  12  or  13  leagues,  you  will 
come  out  a  leagtie  aud  a  half  to  the  southward  of  the  Riding  rocks  on  the  \V, 
part  of  the  bank,  from  whence,  by  the  inspeciion  of  the  chart,  you  may  easily 
iind  jour  *'.ay  either  to  Cuba  or  the  Florida  shore. 

N.  IJ.  In  coming  from  the  Fiorida  shore  this  way,  by  the  Ruling  rocks,  you 
ought  to  endeavour  to  the  making  of  the  south-easternmost  Berry-island  early 
in  the  morning,  which  precaution  will  give  jou  a  great  benefit  with  regard  to 
safely  In  your  run  to  Providence.  You  need  not  be  told  how  great  tin  danger 
is  in  coming  among  shoals  aud  broken  land  during  night. 

There  are  several  small  harbours  on  the  east  part  of  the  Berry  islands,  where 
vater,  and  other  refreshments  may  be  had ;  but  as  they  are  seldom  fniquented  but 
by  the  people  of  Providence,  it  may  be  superfluous  to  say  any  thing  about  them. 

Something  might  be  said  with  regard  to  the  passage  by  Bernini,  Lat  it  being 
the  shoalest,  and  the  bars  to  the  eastward  of  Bemioi  making  it  very  dangerous, 
uo  stranger  ought  to  go  there  without  a  pilot. 

From  Providence  to  the  Hole  in  the  wall  (sometimes  called  the  Hole  iu  the 
rock)  at  the  south  end  of  Abaco,  the  course  is  N.  about  20  leagues. 

In  the  passage  from  the  Hole  in  the  wall,  towards  the  Gulf  of  Florida,  it  is 
necessary  to  give  the  west  end  of  the  grand  Bahama  a  good  birth,  not  only 
on  account  of  its  shoals,  but  for  fear,  if  the  wind  should  hang  south-westward, 
you  should  be  embayed. 

The  North  or  Little  Bahama  baiik  is  liti'e  frequented  but  by  whalers  and 
turtlers;  and,  on  account  of  its  iron  bound  reefs,  is  not  to  be  approached,  chiefly 
oil  the  N.  W.  end  called  Maraiiilla  reef:  the  tide  of  flood  sets  an  indraught  ou 
this  eud  of  the  bank,  from  every  point  of  the  compass,  which  reuders  in  dan- 
gerous to  the  last  degree. 

Directions  for  vessels  bound  from  the  southward  to  Exuma  Salt 
Pond,  situated  in  the  eastward  of  the  Port  and  Harbour  of 
Exuma,  from  which  it  is  distant  between  3  and  4  leagues. 

FROM  the  Bird  rock  (the  northern  extremity  of  Crooked  island)  to  the 
jiorth  end  of  Long  island  the  course  is  N.  W.  distance  26  leagues.  Give  this 
a  good  birth,  say  I  or  2  miles,  on  account  of  two  reefs  (easily  distinguished)

by  S.  This  course  will  bring  you  on  soundings,  when  you  will  sec  Ilog  key  and 
J^ittlc  Exuma,  on  both  of  whit  li  are  setiltmeiits.  There  are  several  rocks  or 
small  keys  ranging  with  the  coast ;  these  niny  be  kept  dose  aboard.  When 
yuu  see  the  houses  distinctly,  hoit^tyour  colours,  and  a  boat  will  be  sent  out  to 
bring  tlic  vessel  to  the  anchorage  at  the  Pond.  The  Pond  is  to  the  east  of  the 
Pigeon  key,  and  Pigeon  key  bears  from  the  north  end  of  Long  island  due  S.  W. 
by  W.  distant  Q  leagues.  Stocking  island,  which  forms  the  harbour  of  Kxunia, 
is  distinguishable  by  a  beacon  on  the  highest  eminence,  and  this  is  about  5  or  6 
miles  to  ihc  westward  of  the  cast*  rn  entrance  of  the  harbour.  The  east  side  of 
Long  island  is  a  bohl  shore,  an<l  wholly  free  from  reefs  and  sunken  rocks.  If 
you  go  round  the  nor.h  end  of  Long  island  towards  evening,  it  may  frequently 
be  advisable  to  come  to  an  anchor,  to  avoid  the  eflcct  of  currents  during  the 
night,  which  may  easily  be  done  on  very  good  ground,  after  doubling  round  the 
north  end,  any  where  under  the  lee  of  the  land  for  several  miles  along  shore. 
In  this  cuse  the  eye  must  direct  you,  the  water  being  perfectly  clear,  and  the 
bottom  visible. 

Sailing  directions  for  the  Coast  of  St.  Domingo  and  Passages 

near  that  Island. 

THE  best  direction  to  make  the  inland  of  St.  Domingo  is  to  run  down  be- 
tween the  latitudes  of  lO"  20'  and  19"  50'  taking  care  never  lo  go  farther  to  the 
northward.  In  this  track  you  will  make  the  land,  either  by  Cape  Cabron  or 
near  Old  Cape  Francois,  and  will  keep  clear  of  the  Silver  kry,  as  well  as  out  of 
the  currents  of  Samana  bay. 

("!apc  Sanian  is  of  a  middling  height,  and  steep  at  its  extremity;  you  see  it  at 
the  same  time  you  make  Cape  Cabron,  from  which  it  is  distant  3  leagues,  nearly 
S.  E.  and  6°  from  tlie  true  N. 

Cape  Cabron  is  higher  and  steeper  than  Samana  ;  the  coast  is  green,  and  co- 
vered with  large  trees.  From  Cape  Cabron  to  Old  Cape  Francois,  the  coast 
forms  a  deep  bight,  called  Scot's  bay,  covered  by  a  reef,  close  to  which  there 
is  a  great  depth  of  water.  The  shinl&is  low,  and  not  seen  at  any  great  distance. 
— You  must  avoid  getting  into  this  bay,  and  steer  direct  for  the  Old  cape, 
which  bears  \V.  N.  W.  |  W.  and  is  distant  15^  leagues. 

The  point  of  the  Old  cape  is  low,  and  stretches  out  in  the  form  of  the  snout 
of  a  porpoise ;  at  5  or  t5  leagues  distance  to  the  N.  N.  W.  of  Cape  Cabron;  in  a 
clear  day  the  Old  cape  is  seen  making  like  an  island,  whose  ends  gradually  slope 
into  the  sea.  When  you  have  made  Cape  Cabron,  being  4  or  5  leagues  to  tlie 
eastward  of  it,  you  must  sail  20  leagues  N.  W.  \  W.  and  will  pass  5  leagues  to  the 
northward  of  the  Old  cape ;  then  you  steer  W.  by  N.  when  having  run  1 5  leagues, 
you  see  Point  Casrouge  about  3  leagues  distance  from  you ;  continue  on  for  5 
leagues,  when  Isabellica,  or  Isabella  point,  will  bear  S.  W.  a  \V.  distant  4 
leagues  :  having  got  thus  far,  you  have  nothing  to  fear,  and  if  it  was  necessary 
you  might  kpep  within  h;df  a  league  of  the  shore,  the  coast  being  very  clear. 

Being  ^bout  4  leagues  off  to  the  northward  of  Old  Cape  Francois,  the  Old 
cape  jwiut  appears  like  a  porpoise  snout  projecting  to  the  eastward,  and  three 
leagues  farther  west  is  a  point  named  Cape  la  Roche,  very  much  resembling  it, 
and  running  to  the  westward.  The  coast  between  *hem  lies  W.  5"  N.  and  E. 
b"  S.  It  is  low,  rather  steep  to  the  sea  side,  and  covered  with  trees  remarkably 
green. 

Towards  the  point  of  the  Old  cape,  a  mountaiu  is  perceived  inland,  which  ia 
clear  weather  can  be  seen  1 5  leagues  oflT,  aud  is  a  good  mark  to  point  out  the 
Old  cape. 

From  Cape  la  Roche  the  land  bends  in  for  about  2  leagues,  and  forms  a  bay 
pretty  deep,  and  covered  by  reefs.  The  coast  then  runs  along  to  the  W.  and  ri- 
sing in  the  height  to  the  northward,  comes  to  Point  Mascouvry,  which  bears  W. 
I  N.  from  Cape  la  Roche.    This  poiot  n  high,  and  its  shore  bold ;  iteerve.-  as

The  course  between  is  bordered  with  reefs,  among  which  the  eiitraoces  are  nar-

This  anchorage  which  is  sheltered  by  the  reefs  that  are  N.  N.  W.  of  Poiut  la 
lloche,  lies  .3  leagues  from  Isabella  point. 

The  Grange  point  is  known  by  tlie  mountain  of  that  name,  and  is  seen  at  a 
jrieat  distance,  l/;  lore  yoii  perceive  tiie  sea  coast.  This  moiintaiu  which  is  insu-

the  islotof  Monte  Clirisi,  and  ItlRO  your  anchor  as  soon  as  you  have  0  fallioni!, 
but  under  the  south  Mv  of  tin;  w( strnunost  islot  jou  may  anchor  farljur  in  J 
fathoms.     From  the  Grange  yon  see  the  mounlains  above  Cape  Francois. 

To  avoid  the  shoals  oil'  the  Sandy  islot,  wliicli  is  one  of  the  Seven  brothers, 
when  you  are  two  leagues  to  the  northward  of  the  Granse,  sleer  W,  or  W.  by  H. 
'■i  or  1  leagues;  then  you  may  h.nd  up  half  a  point  more  to  the  southwarit,  till 
joii  see  Mornc  (hummock)  I'icolet,  towards  which  you  must  sail  as  soon  as  you 
can  perceive  it.  The  Grange  and  the  lluinniock  lie  fi-om  eacli  other  JB.  Id* 
N.  and  W.  LO^S. 

To  ihe  westward  of  the  Grange  are  tlie  Seven  brothers,  which  are  low  islots, 
and  most  of  them  covered  with  mangroves.  Tlure  \f  a  channel  between  them 
and  tlie  coast  of  St.  Domingo,  which  vessels  sometimes  use  going  to  Manchineel 
bay,  but  it  is  very  shoal  and  narrow;  there  are  also  chaiuiels  betweeu  these 
Jilots,  but  in  white  grounds,  whit  h  are  always  uneven  and  dangerous. 

If  you  go  into  Manchineel  bay,  you  must,  at  one  league  to  the  northward  of 
the  Grange,  steer  W.  7*  H.  and  as  soon  as  you  have  doubled  the  westenniiost 
islot,  which  has  a  white  sho.al  rtuining  off  halfn  league  from  its  W.  N.W.  part, 
you  will  see  Point  Icagua,  a  low  point  covered  with  trees,  and  which  forms  the 
entrance  of  Manchineel  bay.  You  run  clothe  to  the  shoal  off  the  Sandy  islot, 
already  mentioned,  which  has  not  less  than  6  fithoms  water  near  its  edge;  theu 
you  must  hatd  up,  and  run  about  half  a  league  from  the  islot  for  Icagua  point,  so 
as  to  pass  pretty  close  to  it,  when  you  come  to  anchor,  as  fir  within  as  you  choose, 
from  8  to  10  fathoms:  the  ground  in  the  bay  being  good  an«l  clean. 

From  Mancldneel  bay  to  Fort  Dauphin  bay,  is  2  leagues  S,  W,  J  W.  The 
coast  is  clear,  and  you  see  the  white  grouml  very  plain. 

From  Fort  Dauphin  to  the  Cape  the  coast  is  surroujitled  by  reefs,  on  the  edge 
of  which  is  a  great  depth  of  water. 

These  reefs  have  some  passages  to  admit  ships,  through  the  white  grounds,  to 
come  in  and  anchor  before  the  main  land ;  but  there  arc  so  many  rocks  and 
shoals  that  it  is  almost  impossible  to  enter  without  a  pilot  well  acquainted. 

Caracol  passage  is  the  least  dilTicult;  the  channel  is  wide,  and  the  losing  tlio 
white  ground  shews  it  plain  cnougli;  but  uo  vessels  drawing  more  than  14  feet 
water  ought  to  attempt  it.  If  you  go  in  you  must  anchor  as  soon  as  you  are 
within  the  reef,  as  the  water  shoals  very  quick  in  shore.  There  is  a  lime-kiln 
that  serves  as  a  mark. 

The  town  of  Cape  Francois  is  under  Picolet  Mount;  there  is  no  danger  run» 
ning  in  for  Picolet  point,  if  you  keep  it  bearing  from  S.  S.  VV.  to  S.  S.  E.  Should 
you  not  have  time  to  wait  for  a  pilot,  you  must  range  along  Picolet  point,  hav- 
ing it  about  S.  or  S.  S.  W.  at  the  distance  of  a  short  muskei  shot;  you  will  then 
perceive  a  white  flag  placed  on  the  north  part  of  a  reef,  and  must  steer  S.  E.  or 
S.  E.  i  E.  so  as  to  leave  the  white  flag  on  your  larboard  hand;  taking  care  to 
have  sufficient  quantity  of  sail  out,  as  you  will  be  forced  to  haul  up  to  weather 
a  red  flag  which  is  left  on  the  starboard  hand,  about  half  a  cable  distant;  when 
you  may  push  on  for  the  m'ddic  oi  *i<e  town,  and  anciior  w  uere  you  piease. 

From  Picolet  point  to  Honorat  point,  which  forms  the  entrance  of  Port  Fran- 
cois, I J  league  to  the  westward,  there  is  no  place  of  shelter.  A  small  reef  runs 
fro:n  this  latter  point  to  Uie  west  100  fathoms  out,  close  to  which  is  3  fathoms; 
you  range  along  this  point,  then  i-teer  S.  S.  E.  till  you  have  run  two  cables* 
lengMi,  and  then  anclior  in  8  or  10  fathoms,  oozy  sand  ;  the  fort  is  bearing  E.  S. 
E.  true  i<orth.  and  you  will  be  distant  from  the  shore  a  cable  and  a  half. 

This  harbour  is  very  small,  having  not  more  than  400  fathoms  from  the  north 
to  the  south  point;  the  bottom  is  good,  and  yon  are  free  from  the  breezes;  be, 
sides  it  is  a  convenient  place,  should  a  gale  of  wind  prevent  your  getting  into 
Cape  Francois ;  and  a  good  shelter  for  frigates,  should  a  superior  force  make  it 
necessary. 
There  are  reefe  »ff  the  widh  point  that  extend  a?  far  as  the  Bay  of  Accul,  wltk-

Uat  iRland  lits  fi  miles  \V.  from  Port  Francois,  so  that  the  entrance  of  AcciU 
b;iy  is  10  mil's  from  Morne  Picolct. 

in  IcavinR  I'ort  Francois  to  go  to  the  Hay  of  Arciil,  you  must  get  totlic  north- 
ward, to  double  a  while  shoal,  on  which  there  arc  in  some  places  bni  4  fathoinii. 
Coming  from  the  northward,  or  the  eastward,  you  must  Riand  in  for  Hat  island,  or 
Sandy  islot,  steering  about  S.  S.  NV.  When  you  get  within  a  le<>giic  of  the  Sandy 
felot,  you  will  plainly  see  the  point  of  the  Three  Mary's,  and  soon  niter,  in  tlip 
inside  of  the  bay,  a  low  point  » ith  a  large  tuft  of  trees  on  it,  called  Point  Abily. 
You  must  keep  llie  islot  of  the  Three  Mary's,  which  are  near  the  larjje  point  ol 
that  name,  iu  one  with  the  tuft  of  trees  Standing  in  10  fatluinis,  ooze,  and 
gttering  a  little  to  the  starboard  or  larboard  as  the  water  i^hoali  on  either  side, 
you  are  then  in  the  middle  of  the  channel,  which  is  not  more  than  a  cable's  length 
iu  width  ;  You  have  on  each  side  of  it  a  while  shoal,  win  re  you  will  not  find 
less  than  four  fathoms,  except  you  run  loo  far  on,  which  you  must  avoid. 

Having  ruu  two  cables  length  in  this  channel,  it  widens;  and  when  you  have 
brought  the  Sandy  Islot,  which  is  left  on  the  larboard  hand,  K.  by  S  true  north, 
you  may  range  along  the  western  reef,  close  to  which  is  16  fathoms. 

You  continue  to  ruu  on  for  the  point  of  ihe  Three  Mary's,  till  you  bring  Ral 
island,  which  you  have  left  on  the  starboard  hand,  to  bear  N.  W.  when  you  may 
anchor  iu  14  or  18  fathoms  water;  all  the  shoals  which  are  within  shew  them- 
selves very  plain. 

The  middle  channel  appears  to  be  narrower  than  that  of  the  Sandy  islot, 
when  ill  reality  it  is  not;  since  you  have  10  or  12  fathoms  water  close  to  the 
reel's,  which  all  shew  themselves  very  plain. 

To  enter  by  this  channel  you  must  bring  Ral  island  to  bear  S.  or  S.  by  F.. 
true  north;  as  you  approach  it  you  will  see  the  point  of  the  Three  Mary's  which 
you  must  open  to  the  westward  of  Rat  island  ;  making  use  of  the  lead  all  the 
while,  and  never  coming  on  a  lesser  depth  than  nine  fathoms.  When  you  are  a 
quarter  of  a  league  from  Rat  island,  steer  S.  E.  to  pass,  at  a  cable's  length,  two 
reefs  on  your  larboard  side,  whic'i  ought  to  be  ranged  as  close  as  possible,  to 
avoid  that  which  lies  off  the  east  end  of  R^t  island,  and  which  you  must  leave 
on  the  starboard  hand.  Having  run  S.  E.  two  cables  length,  you  are  within, 
when  you  may  steer  for  Throe  IVIary's  point. 

If  you  want  to  get  out  by  this  passage,  you  must  as  soon  as  you  have  doubled 
the  reef  of  Rat  island,  and  are  iu  the  channel,  steer  betweeu  Point  Limbe  and 
the  island  of  Todoga,  till  you  have  brought  Rat  island  open  its  own  length  to 
ihe  E.  of  the  Three  Mary's ;  then  steer  N.  W.  and  you  will  not  have  less  than  9 
fuhoms,  and  often  15  or  16.  This  passage  is  shorter  and  better  than  the  first; 
besides,  if  you  should  be  taken  a-back,  you  may  anchor  immediately,  the  ground 
being  hard  mud  and  good  hold,  anri  the  water  very  smooth. 

The  third  passage,  or  Limbe  passage,  is  Ihe  best  of  all,  being  so  broad  that 
ships  may  turn  up  it ;  it  lies  between  the  main  laud  of  St.  Domingo  and  the 
breakers  to  the  W.  of  Rat  island,  which  extends  to  within  half  a  league  of  Point 
league.  To  enter  by  this  passage,  you  run  for  the  island  of  Limbe  till  you 
bring  league  point  to  bear  S. ;  it  is  known  by  the  sleep  rocks  which  form  it,  and 
is  the  only  high  point  seen  from^hc  Limbe.  Steering  south,  true  north,  in  com- 
ing from  the  eastward,  you  see  a  shoal,  which  is  called  Coqueciveill,  at  the  foot 
of  which  is  5  fathoms :  steer  S.  E.  in  the  mid-channel,  between  it  and  Point 
league,  and  you  will  have  from  10  to  15  fathoms  water;  should  you  want  t« 
stop  to  the  westward  of  the  Three  M.-iry's  you  ste'T  for  the  Morne  Rouge,  or 
Red  hummock,  and  may  anchor  in  from  12  to  13  fathoms. 
If  you  are  turniug  through  this  passage  be  not  afraid  of  comiog  acarthe  rocks

fulluwing  this  Irncl  you  will  find  all  over  the  bay  fiom  10  to  I.>  laihoiiis  oo/,y 
ground.  There  is  a  .-hoal  half  a  mile  S.  S.  \V.  of  the  Three  Mary's  rocks,  so 
mimII  as  to  render  it  diflicult  to  be  lound  ;  but  is  easily  avoided  if  yuu  are  ou 
that  side  the  bay,  by  standing  over  towards  Abcly  inio  the  middle  of  the  load- 
btrad,  and  then  steer  for  Morne  llonge. 

This  bay  is  an  excellent  shelter  in  time  «)f  war  for  frigates,  and  even  for  line 
of  battle  ships.  The  water  Ik  good,  ami  very  clear  near  the  Lime  kiln,  on  the 
N.  side  of  the  .Morne  Rouge;  the  waleiing  is  now  very  dillicnlt,  but  it  might, 
without  much  trouble,  be  made  very  coiivc  uieut  You  must  not  go  higher  up 
the  bay  than  Ljinbard  point,  which  is  to  the  foiilhwurd  of  Murne  Ruuge,  as 
th<;re  are  ^eve.al  dangerous  shoals  very  steep  to. 

From  the  Hay  of  Aeeul  the  coatl  runs  W.  N.  W.  to  the  island  of  Limbe  { 
then  a  little  farther  (o  the  island  Margoi,  which  is  of  a  round  form,  and  points 
out  A  use  Choui  lioiix  bay,  2  miles  to  the  westward  ol  it.  4  leagues  from  M(.riie 
au  Diablc.  or  the  Devil's  hummock,  at  the  entranre  (»f  l-ort  l'"raiic»)is.  and  0 
leagues  VV.  8'  N.  true  north,  of  Piculet.  The  bottom  is  good  all  over,  and  from 
(}  to  7  fathoms.  To  enter  it  you  nins!  press  very  elo^e  to  the  K.  point,  where 
you  have  ti  fathoms  close  to  the  shore.  As  soon  as  ymi  are  williin,  you  drop 
your  anchor,  for  you  are  almost  taken  a-bai  L  by  the  return  of  the  w  in<l,  and  by 
tlip  calm  which  prevails  in  this  bay,  however  s.rong  the  sea  breeze  may  be  with- 
out. A  frigate  might  anchor  in  5  l"atlioin>  waltr  to  the  w estward  of  two  small 
houses,  \\hi>.h  you  will  see  in  doubling  the  K.  point;  you  may,  indepi-ndeiit  of 
Margot  round  islot,  know  Chouchoux  bay  at  a  distance,  by  a  large  wliitc  streak 
which  runs  down  a  hill  half  a  mile  W.  of  llieentriuiie. 

West  of  Chouchoux  bay  is  a  very  small  bay  called  Salt  river,  but  it  can  only 
be  used  by  small  craft. 

From  Chouchuux  hay  the  coast  runs  W.  23"  \.  one  league,  when  you  come 
to  another  bay  called  the  bottom  of  the  Orange,  which  is  to  the  eastward  of 
Point  Palmist,  and  known  by  a  chain  of  rocks  that  exte  id  n:  ar  a  hague,  almost 
to  the  huge  point  of  league.  This  bay  is  small,  and  the  ground  very  good  with 
6  falhoais  near  the  shoi*;,  but  it  is  not  so  wellslultered  as  Cliout  lioux.  To  en- 
ter,  you  keep  the  E  ;•  lit  ou  board,  and  anchor  i.i  7  fathoms,  in  the  middle  of 
the  ba)',  oo/,y  sand. 

At  H  short  league  from  the  buy  is  league  point,  which  is  round  and  formed  by 
several  other  points.  You  must  not  come  near  the  land  to  the  eastward  of  this 
point,  Oil  account  of  the  rocks  n'ready  mciitioneiS  j  some  of  wliicii  are  eotireiy 
under  water,  and  run  out  into  the  sea  half  a  league. 

From  Point  Palmist  the  co.'tt.t  runs  W.  |.  N.  to  the  Carenage  point  of  Port 
Paix.  which  is  the  northernmost  headlaudof  this  part  ofthu  coist.  It  is  distant 
from  Palmist  4  leagues,  and  is  often  at  a  distance,  taken  for  it  ;  the  coast  be- 
tween the  two  points  is  very  clear  and  safe. 

The  channel  of  Tortugas  island  begins  at  Point  Palmist,  and  terminates  N. 
and  S.  nearly  abreast  of  Moiistique  bay ;  being  narrowest  at  the  Carenage  point. 
It  is  very  safe,  and  ships  may  turn  up  within  And  in  gener'al,  it  is  a  grfiat  ad- 
vantage when  the  ciineni  runs  up,  to  pass  through  this  channel  when  you  in- 
tend to  go  to  the  windward  of  the  island.  The  island  is  of  a  moderate  Jieight, 
it  is  0  leaguesjlong,  and  one  bioad  ;  till  ihn  north  siide  is  iron  bound  and  steep

Should  there  be  a  westerly  current,  which  is  seldom  Ihe  cas-e,  and  never  but  in 
the  summer  time,  it  is  then  so  stron<;  tiiat  it  would  lie  folly  to  attempt  the  pas- 
snge.  Ships  should  then  stanil  U  or  7  |ea};ues  to  the  northward  of  Tortugas  and 
tliey  will  work  up  very  easily. 

Two  miles  from  Point  Carena-rc  is  ihe  fort  of  Port  Paix,  off  which  is  a  shoal 
of  a  cable's  leustii,  with  13  faihoms  close  to  it.  The  anchorage  of  Port  Vn\x, 
is  of  great  depth;  tlioui;li  the  bay  io  very  small,  you  may  anchor  off  the  north 
p:irt  of  the  town,  in  1 2  or  13  fathoms  oozy  sand,  about  a  cable  and  a  half 'a  length 
Ifroin  tlie  shore. 

From  Port  P.Vi.x  the  coast  runs  nearly  in  a  ripht  line  to  MoHsti«|ite  hay,  wiiich 
Js  1 1c.i^iu^s  to  the  westward  ;  it  i.-*  an  iron  bound  shore,  and  very  safe. 

Moustiquc  b.iy,  Ihoush  very  siiiidl,  may  shelter  u  ship  in  distress;  there  is  b 
batlery  onthc  east  point,  whieli  vou  leave  on  the  larboard  hand,  and^s  soon  as 
you  hiivc  dotdiled  it,  let  fjo  )our  anchor  in  12  or  13  fathoms,  a  cable  and  a  halt* 
♦rcnj  tlie  shore.  In  some  parts  of  tlic  hay  the  groiuid  is  uneven  and  rocky;  in 
oilier  parts  it  is  very  <;ood.  I5e  careful  not  to  let  go  your  anchor  till  you  have 
pounded,  as  at  the  en'raiice  of  the  bay  there  is  no  ground  at  40  faihoms;  you 
must  at  least  bring  the  battery  to  bear  N.  N.  E.  Off  the  west  point  is  a  shoal, 
which  runs  in  the  b:«y  a  cable's  len;;th. 

Poita>L'Kcu  isli  league  to  the  westward  of  Moustique,  and  the  shorn  be- 
tween them  is  rocky,  with  deep  water  close  to  it.  The  anchorage  is  belter  here, 
but  not  so  easy  for  large  ships  to  come  at  as  at  Mousticpie  ba) ,  on  account  of  a 
T»'cf  and  a  shoal,  with  only  ."j  faihoms  water,  wiiich  rniis  off  the  cast  poiiit  for 
two  cables  length,  and  which  rounds  the  point  lo  the  inside  of  the  bay.  To  come 
to  this  aiichorage  you  give  the  shoal  on  the  cast  point  a  small  birth  on  the  lar- 
board hand;  thenyoti  must  haul  your  wind,  ransiiiig  along  the  eastern  reef,  and 
anchor  towards  the  middle  of  the  bay  in  from  8  to  10  fathoms,  oozy  bottom,  the 
lioiise  bearing  S.  S.  W.  true  north.  You  may  go  in  towards  the  house  in  the  cod 
of  the  bay,  as  near  as  4  fathoms.  The  S.  W.  coast  is  ateep  to  and  safe,  and  you 
may  staml  clofe  into  the  white  ground,  which  is  very  near  the  shore. 

From  tlic  Port-a-L'Ecu  the  coast  runs  W.  5"  N-.  2^  leagues  to  thepoint  of  Pe- 
tit Jean  Rabel ;  anrl  2  miles  more  to  the  eastwani  is  Jean  Ral)el  point,  which 
fbrms  the  anchorage  of  that  name.  Itds  good,  safe,  and  very  easy  to  fetch,  but 
yo\i  must  not  be  afraid  of  going  near  the  eastern  reef,  at  the  foot  of  which  you 
^vo  10  fathoms*    The  auchorsge  for  large  ships  is  two  cables  length  IVom  the

The  west  point  of  this  peninsula  form>  Ihe  north  part  of  the  entrance  of  St. 
Mcliolas  Mole.  The  liay  is  large  and  spacious  at  ils  entrance,  but  grows  nar« 
row  towards  l||e  town,  wliith  you  disciy  as  soon  as  yonliave  doubled  the  cspe, 
Viiw  may  stand  very  clo.-e  to  both  sIiok  s  ;  but  it  is  advisable  to  allow  on  th« 
south  side  more  room  f«.r  wearing,  than  on  the  north  side,  a.s  there  is  no  anchor- 
ing ground,  which  you  have  on  the  uorlh  side,  Ijiongh  very  near  theshore.  You 
anchor  before  the  town,  and  uniler  the  barracks,  in  IT)  or  lafatiioms.s.indy  bot-

down  from  the  land,  with  such  a  violence  us  to  eiidiinger  the  masts. 

II.  going  out  of  .Mole  St.  Nicholas  you  sue  to  the  southward  the  point  of  tlie 
mole,  which  forms  ilscntrnnce,  and  2  miles  to  ihc  squth  of  it  is  Le  Cap-a-fouK, 
or  ImioPs  cape  ;  it  lies  at  the  western  extremity  of  a  large  poiut,  wliicli  rounds 
into  tlie  S.  8.  E.  7  miles,  and  as  far  as  Pearl  point, 

« Fools  ca|)e  is  easily  known  by  a  small  roi  k  which  lies  at  its  pilch ;  the  shore 
!.•(  steep  without  any  8heUcr,'but  it  is  generally  a  calm  here.  The  currents  iu 
iliore  set  to  the  northward,  and  2  leagues  in  the  offuig  to  the  W.  and  W.  S.  W. 

From  Pearl  point  the  coast  runs  S.  K.  one  league,  and  then  K.  H.  E.  to  the 
point  of  the  Platform,  which  is  ?,  [  leagues  farther.  This  point  is  easily  distin- 
guished, as  well  by  its  flat  form,  as  by  its  bdrig  the  southernmost  of  this  part  of 
the  island.  T4ic  anchorage  is  before  a  small  sandy  cove,  at  the  bottom  of  which 
some  houses  arc  seen.  Y^ou  anchor  near  the  shore  in  8  or  10  fathoms  weedy 
bottom. 

From  the  point  of  the  Platform  to  IVnit  la  Pierre,  which  is  at  the  west  en- 
trance of  the  Gonaivcs,  or  Gonahecves,  the  coast  trenchrs  in  2  leagues  to  the 
north,  and  goes  rounding  lo  Port  a  Pimeno,  Pimento  harbour,  from  whence  ij, 
nins  to  the  south,  to  join  Point  a  Pierre. 

This  point  is  high  and  steep,  and  bears  with  the  Platform  poiut  E.  le**  6. 
and  W.  IS"  N.  true  norlh,  distant  lOi  leagues. 

All  this  coast  is  safe,  aud  may  be  ranged  very  near;  there  is  ancliorage, evca 
for  large  ships,  at  Hene  bay,  and  at  Port  Piment,  but  it  ought  to  be  used  oniy  in 
case  of  necessity.  In  the  winter  months  there  are  gales  of  wind  nimost  every 
night comiDg  from  the  S.  jE.  some  of  «Jiich  are  violent;  niid.^ithout  you  have 
imsiness.on  this  part  of  the  cpast,  it  is  best  to  st^nd  off  2  or  3  leagues,  so  that 
you  may,  with  any  wind,  keep  to  the  w.estward. 

The  bay  of  Gonahe,evcE,  as  the  Fieach  pronounce  it,  is  very  large  and  fin^ 
ihc  anchorage  cxcelle;it,  aud  the  entrance  very  easy.  You  range  along  the  shore 
half  a  league,  or  2  miles  distance,  steering  a  few  degrees  to  the  northward  of  east, 
and  let  go  your  anchor  iuC  or  10  fathoms,  oozy.  You  will  find  from  the  en- 
trance under  Oonahceve  poiut,  which  is  low,  and  one  mile  east  of  Point  Pierre, 
16  and  12  fathoms;  Ihe  water  decreases  as  you  get  into  the  bay.  When  you

The  water  decreases  as  you  go  towartis  the  Arcadins,  or  on  the  coast  side.  One

ought  to  prevent  your  going  in  wilhoi^t  a  pilot  wiio  is  well  ac<iiiaiii.ted.

Island,  hearing  W.N.  VV.  and  L'l.  S.  E.  and  are  »|isiant  41  leagues. 

The  coast  west  of  the  peninsula  of  the  Snout,  bends  iji  to  the  t;oiith,  and  forms 
»  bight  of  2  leiigues ;  then  rounding  oi^t  a  little  it  runs  W.  N.  W.  10  le.igues, 
as  far  as  Jeremie.  This  bight,  and  Great  Caymite  i.-land,  form  a  large  bay, 
iiameil  Cayniite  bay,  •wiiere  there  is  a  very  good  anchorage  for  alt  sojts  of  ves- 
aels.  You  may  come  to  it  williotit  4  pilot,  and  anchor  imdcr  the  island,  in  what 
depth  you  choose.  You  may  al^o  proceed  Ip  Flainand's  bay,  near  the  penin 
sula,  ranging  along  the  peninsula  side,  and  anchor  opposite  l  'andy  beach,  io 
what  depth  you  j)leai-e.  \ 

The  Bay  of  raymites  present  several  vcrj  fine  atichoragos,  very  easy  to  come 
at.  with  the  assistance  of  the  lead  alone,  but  there  is  not  a  ;;ood  passage  between 
the  Graud  Caymitc  and  the  shore ;  and  you  will  not  find  more  than  13  f(;ct  watei 
upon  the  wliite  shoals  of  the  Little  Caj mite,  or  of  Foucaiia  Islot ;  and  theu  there 
are  several  coral  rocks  which  rise  within  2  or  3  feet  of  the  surface  of  the  water, 
so  that  no  vessel,  but  very  small  ones,  ever  attempt  it  without  a  pilot.  Tlicie 
white  shoals  extend  3  leagues  \V.  S.  W.  oll'tlie  Grand  Cayniite. 

Froui  the  north  part  of  the  Grand  Cay  mile  to  Salt  river  point,  which  is  1| 
Jcagufs  W.  N.  W.  of  point  Jeremie,  is  9^  leagues ;  this  Sail  river  point  is  the 
northeriimost  of  all  from  Port  au  Prince;  under  poitit  Jeremie  is  the  village  of 
that  name,  whose  anchorage  is  very  small  and  not  proper  for  large  ships ;  sphoo- 
ners  and  small  V( ssels  may  anchor  within  the  reef,  but  no  ship  which  draws  up- 
wards of  1 2  or  1  1  feet  should  ever  anchor  here,  except  in  rase  of  necessity ;  Ihejr 
is  no  shelter  for  her;  in  sliQrt  it  is  a  bad  anchorage,  and  which  you  must  avoid 
during  the  north  winds. 

From  Salt  river  point  to  Cape  Dame  Maria,  or  Donna  Maria,  the  coast  runs 
W.  by  S.  5"  S.  \l  leagues. 

All  this  shore  is  safe  and  bold  within  ^  league  ;  it  does  not  present  any  sliel- 
ter,  thou"!!,  in  case  of  necessitv.  vou  might  anchor  in  Clair  bay,  which  is  IJ 
Icagiie  from  Salt  river.  This  ...^  .  ..-  rather  cove,  is  so  very  small,  tfial  2  ships, 
100  feet  lotig,  would  be  pu7/Aled  to  swing  clear  of  each  other ;  it  can  only  serve 
as  a  shelter  tp  very  small  vessels,  aod  is  easily  discovered  by  keeping  along 
shore. 

As  soon  as  you  deecry  Cape  baivic  Maria  by  the  false  cape  of  that  name,  and 
are  |  league  distant  from  it,  yoti  will  strike  soundings  from  15  to  18  fathom^ 
and  you  may  rauge  along  this  cape  at  ^  league  distance,  in  from  8  to  12  fathoms, 
Veedy  bottcwn. 

Should  you  want  to  anchor  in  Dame  Maria  bay,  you  must  keep  the  shore  on 
Naard,  steering  about  S.  E,  the  winds  beiifi?  generally  against,  and  with  your  leati 
you  cbrae  to  an  anchor  W.  N.  W.  off  a  large  white  tapiou,  or  hillock,  on  which 
stands  a  battery,  and  within  a  musket  shot  of  which  you  will  find  5  fathoms. 
There  is  bottom  all  over  this  bay ;  a  mile  from  the  shore  you  will  have  from  4 
to  6  fathoms,  and  at  2  miles  from  t]  to  Ip.     You  are  sheltered  from  the  yvlndl;

From  Cape  Dame  Maria  the  coast  runsS.  by  W.  ^  W  5  leafiucsto  Point  des 
Irois,  and  forms,  at  that  distance,  several  bays  antl  coves,  where  vessels  may 
anchor.     There  are  no  shoals,  and  the  ground  incrrases'to  the  shore. 

To  the  S,  S.  \V'.  of  Capu  D  ime  .Maria,  2^  leagues  distance,  and  about  half  a 
league  oflF  Minister's  point,  are  some  rocks,  called  La  Halciiie,  or  the  NVhale  ; 
tiiese  rocks  are  above  water,  and  siiiraunde<l  Avith  a  white  shoal  which  does  not 
extend  more  than  half  a  cable's  length  from  them,  and  on  which  are  four  fa- 
thoms; a  ship  can  sail  bctweeu  it  and  the  shore  ;  in  the  mid-channel  she  will 
have  6  fathoms,  and  may  go  as  close  as  she  pleases  to  take  them  oo  the  oir  side  y 
the  sea  always  breaks  on  this  sl)oal. 

One  league  and  a  half  from  the  Whale  lies  Pierre  Joseph's  islot,  where  a  con- 
voy might  anchor;  the  anchorage  is  very  good  and  easy;  and  large  ships  an- 
clior  to  the  S.  VV.  of  the  islot. 

All  along  this  \V.  part  of  the  coast,  you  have  ground  two  leagues  from  the 
shore  :  the  depth  gradually  increasing  as  you  leave  the  land,  so  that  iu  genera! 
you  will  find  4  or  5  fathoms,  at  1  mile  distance ;  10  Oi  i2  at  2  miles;  and  re- 
gularly  from  13  to  17,  at  3  miles ;  when  you  get  ioto  30  fathoms,  you  will  loose 
soundings  suddenly. 

Point  des  Irois,  or  Irish  point,  as  the  English  sailors  call  it,  is  the  westernmost 
point  of  St.  Domingo  island  ;  it  is  not  very  high,  though  remarkable  from  a 
small  hummock  on  its  extremity,  whicli  appears  detached  from  the  coast,  an4 
makes  like  an  island;  this  point  forms  the  north  part  of  Bay  des  Irois,  or  Irish 
bay  ;  you  may  range  very  close  to  the  land  on  the  north  side  of  the  bay,  Uiere 
being  from  9  to  1 8  fathoms  touching  the  shore. 

The  anchorage  is  to  iheiK.  W.  of  a  Black  rock,  which  is  seen  a  little  way  to 
the  southward  of  the  town;  it  is  in  from  9  to  10  fathoms,  shelly.  You  may 
anchor  likewise  to  the  southward  of  the  rocky  islot,  N.  N.  W.  of  a  small  huw- 
niock  toward  the  middle  of  tlie  bay ;  the  depth  is  here  from  S  to  0  fathoms,  sasA 
and  muddy  ground. 

The  bay  is  exposed  to  southerly  winds;  there  is  always  a  great  sea  witliin, 
and  the  debarcadaire  is  of  course  a  bad  one.  It  is  situated  in  the  eddy  of  the 
currents;  which  set  to  the  northward  on  the  W.  side,  and  to  the  S.  E.  on  the  E. 
coast.  Besides,  the  sea  in  the  ofling  is  alternately  agitated  with  violence  by  Uie 
N.  E.  and  E.  breezes  which  prevail  on  the  west  coast,  and  by  the  S.  K.  wiods 
that  blow  on  the  S.  coast.  Irish  bay  is  terminated  to  the  H.  by  Cape  Carca>se, 
which,  w'tli  Foors  Cape,  forms  a  large  roundish  point,  whose  cud  is  at  Cape 
Tiburon.  > 

These  three  capes,  seen  at  a  distance,  form  but  one.  which  is  called  CapfiTt 
buron,  and  is  very  easily  known  by  its  form  and  lieig^it.  It  is  a  larg^  moun  taiu, 
very  lofty,  whose  top  is  rounded  like  the  back  of  a  dosser,  and  comes  gradually 
down  towards  the  sea. 

Cape  Tiburou,  properly  gpeaking,  is  4  miles  S.  30°  E.  of  Irisji  point,  and  J>rm8 
the  entrance  of  Tiburon  bay,  which  is  to  the  eastward  of  it.  You  will  gft  n* 
ground  at  50  fathoms,  2  cables'  length  from  the  coast,  between  Cape  Canjasse, 
and  very  near  Cape  Tiburon;  but  ofTthe  latter,  at  that  distance,  you  will'liave 
from  24  to  30  fathoms,  and  a  little  further  out  quickly  lose  soundings.         ^ 

Tiburon  bay  is  sheltered  on  the  E.  and  partly  on  the  S.  by  Point  Burgtts,  olf 
which  runs  a  reef  a  cable's  length  out;  you  anchor  to  the  northward  (tf  this 
point  \  league  from  the  town,  in  7  or  3  fathoms,  oozy  bottom ;  io  most  p  nrts  of 
the  bay  the  ground  ig  clear  and  good,  if  you  do  not  approach  too  neai:  Point 
Burgos,  where  the  bottom  Is  rocky.  You  have  nothing  to  fear  here  but  sot  (therlj* 
winds ;  and  small  vessels  can  get  so  close  to  the  shore,  in  3  or  4  fathom«  as  to 
mak«  Point  Burgos  shelter  them ;  with  all  other  winds  the  water  is  smot^h,  ihc 
landing  place  is  very  easy ;  and  ships  may  with  great  facility  get  excellent  w:*;ter.

From  Point  Buvgosloalow  [mint  called  Old  Boucaml,  tlie  coast  runs.  K.  8. 
Fi.  H"  S.  4  milcB.  This  shore  is  not  so  sale  as  the  otlicr  part  of  ilio  const,  as 
th»:ic!  are  some  wliite  sljoaU  and  breakers  off  Aigeneites  [)oii)t,  but  wliicli  do  not 
extend  more  limn  half  ^  league  at  most. 

From  Old  Boucand  point,  the  coast  runs  to  the  N.  E.  Ij  league,  and  then 
rounds  to  form  what  is  called  Lc  Fonddes  Angioii^,  the  Kuf;!)-,!!  Iwttom  j  all  this 
part  ia  safe,  but  does  not  oder  any  good  :«ncliorngc ;  indeed  a  ship  may  anchor 
very  nrar  the  land,  but  will  every  where  be  exposed  to  the  sea  breezes. 

From  iie  I'ond  des  Anglois,  the  coast  bcgiiis  to  run  to  the  K.  i.  K.  4  miles  t9 
a  large  hummock  called  Les  Cherdonniers,  and  which  is  very  remirkable  at  a 
distance ;  then  after  having  formed  a  bight  of  half  a  leagut  it  goes  H.  S.  F.  6| 
leagues  to  a  poii-  called  Point  a  Gravois  forming  in  that  space  several  iittic 
coves,  which  cannot  be  considered  as  anchorages.  The  only  one  of  tolerable 
size  is  Port  Salut,  which  is  a  short  league  IS .  N  VV.  of  Point  a  Gravois 

Point  a  Gravois  is  low  and  dilficuK  to  distingui.sh,  people  often  confounding 
at  with  that  of  Port  Salut.  From  it  the  coast  is  not  very  high,  and  runs  E.  2°  IV. 
d  Icai'uesto  Point  Abacou,  which  is  low  at  its  extremity,  though  it  rises  a  little  in 
shore";  this  is  formed  by  two  points  of  reefs,  stretching  |  of  a  league  into  the  sea. 
'You  may  pass  without  fear  at  half  a  league  distance,  and  will  have  no  ground 
at  40  fathoms.  At  this  point  begins  the  Bay  ef  the  Caj  es.  The  roast,  after 
having  doubled  Abacou,  run*,  to  the  N.  N.  W.  then  to  the  N.  W.  and  aft«  r- 
wards  rounds  towards  the  E.  till  you  come  to  the  town  of  the  Cayes,  which  bears 
il-om  Abacou  N.  by  E.  2°  E.  3*  leagues. 

The  S.  W.  point  of  the  Isle  a  Vache,  or  Cow  island,  forms  the  east  side  of  the 
f  ntrance  of  this  great  l)ay,  it  bears  E.  by  N.  from  Point  Abucou  7  miles.  In  the 
mad  channel  between  Abacou,  and  the  west  ^ide  of  Isle  a  Vache,  you  will  have 
2. 5  fathoms,  which  depth  decreases  as  you  approach  the  island.  Oil"  the  B.  W. 
pnalof  the  island  there  is  a  wiille  ground,  on  which  you  will  have  fVom  5  to  7 
fai  horns  1^  mile  from  the  shore,  locky ;  but  as  you  approach  Diamond  point,  you 
wi  II  not  find  the  white  ground  more  than  ^  league,  and  the  bottom  is  good  in  0 
an  d  7  fathoms.  When  you  bring  Diamond  point  to  bear  E.  you  will  have  soun- 
dii  ics  all  tlie  way  across.  There  is  good  anchorage  to  the  westward  of  Diamond 
po  Jit,  or  farther  to  the  northwaril  of  it,  oppsite  a  sandy  cove,  from  6  to  7  fa- 
th(  flns  muddy  sand. 

'  To  go  into  the  Cayes,  you  range  along  the  N.  W.  point  of  Isle  a  Vache,  in  6 
fati  loms  water;  and  you  steer  nearly  N.  by  E.  to  make  on  your  starboard  hand 
the  white  hummocks  of  Cavaillon.  You  will  then  leave  on  the  larboard  hand 
a  la  r<»e  reef,  surrounded  with  a  white  shoal,  ^Jiic!>  takes  up  almost  all  the  middle 
of  I,  iie  bay.  When  you  have  brought  the  twn  to  bear  N.  \V.  ^  VV.  you  must 
haul  up  two  points  to  windward  of  the  town,  standing  towards  the  Company's  is- 
lot,  \  »herc  you  may  anchor*  if  you  do  not  mean  to  go  into  the  road  ;  if  you  do, 
Yoii  rfiorten  sail  a  mile  from  the  shore,  and  wait  for  a  pilot.  The  channel  i.-s  ^■ 
of  a  cable  in  breadth.  Ships  drawing  more  than  1.1  feet  water  cannot  go  in  ; 
those  of  1 5  and  1 7  feet  water  always  anchor  at  Chateaudin,  ^  a  league  to  the 
westw  ard,  and  which  is  separated  by  shoals  from  the  port. 

To  anchor  in  the  Road  of  Chateaudin  (coming  from  the  mooring  of  the  Isle  a 
Vach(  i)  W.  or  W.  N.  W.  off  Diamond  point,  in  8  or  1 1  fathoms,  you  must  steer 
dircctl  "y  for  Torbec,  which  is  a  small  town  very  easily  4listingui&hed  in  the  cod  of 
the  ba  f ;  this  track  will  be  about  N.  W  When  you  are  within  about  two  miles 
of  the  '.  thore,  you  will  discover  a  little  white  flag,  which  is  on  a  shoal ;  you  doub- 
le it  to  the  westward  at  about  half  a  cable's  length,  leaving  it  on  the  starboard 
hand,  »  rhen  you  iiave  brought  it  to  bear  south,  you  steer  along  the  coast  for  the 
road  of  "  Chauteaudin,  and  anchor  in  6  or  7  fa'homs,  mud.  In  all  this  passage, 
if  you  keep  the  proper  channel,  you  cannot  have  less  ihau  from  7  to  9  fathoms, 
and  off    sn  12  and  16,  muddy  ground. 

Thfe  Isle  a  Vache  is  3  leagues  in  the  greatest  length,  and  its  breadth  not  more

,.f  small  islands.  From  tlic  N.  VV.  point,  in  going  to  that  of  the  S.  W.  the  coast 
!h  safe,  the  water  shoaling  gradually  as  you  come  near  the  land.  Off  the  S.  W 
cud  is  the  white  shoal  already  mentioned,  to  which  ships  coming  from  the  east- 
ward mist  give  a  birth.  The  sojith  side  is  bold:  and  along  a  whole  length,  • 
rrcf  runs  at  a  cable's  Is^ngtli  distance,  to  the  cast  point  of  which  is  &  wliite  shoal 
extending  to  another  reef,  laying  off  the  Point  «>f  la  Folle,  to  the  Dorthwanl. 

From  the  IVi  it  of  la  Folle,  to  the  N.  W.  point  on  die  nortli  side  of  the  island 
there  is  achain  of  shoals  and  islands,  amongst  which  arc  some  narrow  passagcv 
On  the  north  side  of  Ibe  island  is  the  bay  of  Fcret,  where  there  is  a  very 
good  anchorage ;  but  yon  niust  be  exceedingly  well  acquainted  before  jrou  can 
attempt  it,  as  you  will  in  many  places  find  oidy  2  and  3  fathoms,  if  you  are  not 
iii  the  channel. 

The  northernmost  of  these  islands,  Caye  de  1'  Eau,  or  Water  key,  is  easily 
Jinown  by  a  large  tuft  of  l;uge  trees,  one  of  which  is  considerably  higher  thaa 
the  rest;  this  island  is  hold. 

At  some  distance  from  it,  «u  the  nonh  side,  tlicre  is  a  good  anchorage  from  15 
to  .3a  fathoms. 

From  the  Caycs,  (he  const  runs  a  league  F..  N.  E.  as  far  as  the  Ta^/ion,  or 
hummock  of  Cavaillon,  which  forms  the  entrance  of  the  bay  of  that  name  ;  half 
V  ay  between  is  the  CrfOtpany's  island,  where  you  anchor  if  you  do  not  choose 
to  go  into  the  harbour  of  the  C;iy«s. 

You  mvt  not  go  tooclofe  to  the  S.  F..  part  of  the  Tapions  of  Cavaillon,  a* 
there  is  a  shoal  with  ordy  six  feet  water  on  it,  called  La  Mouton,  the  Sheep  ;  it 
lies  S.  E.  from  the  tast  point  of  the  Tapion,  about  f  a  mile;  and  there  is  8  fa' 
thoms  between  it  and  tiie  shore. 

Cavaillon  bay  is  pretty  spacious,  though  the  anchorage  is  of  very  little  extent  ^ 
the  coast  on  the  west  is  too  steep,  and  the  bottom  lull  of  rocks-  You  must  comr 
lo  an  anchor  on  (he  east  side  of  the  bay,  opposite  a  coast  covered  with  raari- 
groves ;  approach  it  without  fear,  the  bottom  being  clear :  and  you  have  five 
liuhoms  close  to  the  shore.  In  this  bay  you  mc  sheltered  from  the  sea  breezes, 
by  the  cast  point  of  an  island,  which  leaves  a  paasage  between  the  mangroves  in- 
to tlie  f'ly  dcs  Flaniai^ds. 

The  Bay  ries  Flaraands,  or  Flemish  bay,  which  lies^  league  from  Cavaillou 
bay,  runs  into  the  land  toward  the  N.  E.  Its  entrance  and  shores  are  clear  aud 
bold,  am'  it  is  the  place  where  ships  lie  up  in  the  hurricane  months^  tltsrc  is  ft 
^ond  careening  place,  and  you  may  anchor  any  where  in  (Ji°  bay. 

From  this  bay  tlie  coast  runs  E.  by  N.  2  iailes,as  far  as  the  Greal<bay  of  Messe, 
where  the  anchorage  is  good  all  over,  but  you  are  no  way  sheltered  from  the 
soiitherly  wind,  as  the  entrance  opens  to  the  southward,  and  is  very  broad- 

The  cftast  continues  itsduection  to  the  ,E.l>y  N.  as  far  ap  Point  Paschal ;  half 
v.'ay  towards  it  is  the  Little  bay  of  Messe,  in  which  you  may  likewise  anchor, 
hut  arc  not  even  sheltered  from  the  sea  brcexe.  Off  t4ie  great  bay  of  Messe,  is 
a  shoal  that  lies  like  a  bar  across  the  bay,  and  extends  opposite  the  point  which 
is  to  the  westwajrdof  the  Little  bay  of  Messe.  This  shoal  in  some  places  has  not 
more  than  from  15  to  18  feet  water;  it  is  very  narrow,  and  leares  a  passage  of 
^  of  a  league  between  it  and  the  const ;  it  does  not  extend  to  the  southward  more 
than  I  a  league  from  the  shore.  If  you  want  to  go  into  the  Great  bay,  and  your 
ship  draws  more  than  1 5  feet,  you  must  keep  close  to  the  shore  on  the  west  side 
of  the  bay,  ranging  by  Point  i'aulin,  which  forms  the  west  entrance  of  the  bay ; 
the  beginning  of  the  bank  is  north  and  south  of  Point  St.  Reni,  at  the  distance 
of  about  a  mile. 

Point  Prfscal  is  steep,  and  pf  a  wliitc  colour ;  it  forms,  with  a  little  ialaxid  that 
lies  to  the  eastward  about  half  a  league,  the  principal  entrance  of  St.  jLouishay. 
This  island  is  called  Orange  key.  You  see  it  from  the  entrance  of  the  Caycs, 
which  is  5  leagues  distant ;  it  is  then  nearly  io  a  line  with  the  shore  8.  of  the 
Ijay  of  Messe. 
From  Point  Pascal  the  coast  runs  N.  N.  E.  one  roile,  9S  far  as  Point  Vigie,

Toauclioria  St,  Louis  bay,youranse  along  Point  I'aKial,  then  Point  Vigie, 
and  along  the  west  toast  in  8  or  10  falhoiiisi  tlit  anchorage  is  west  of  the  OJd 
fort,  about  \  mile  iVoiu  tlie  shore,  iu  such  a  situation  that  you  can  see  the  town 
between  the  Old  fort  and  the  shore  in  the  bottom  of  the  bay.  The  Old  fort  is 
built  upon  an  islot  of  rocks,  from  which  there  is  a  passage  towards  the  shore  in 
6  fathoms,  to  the  anchorage  before  the  town,  where  the  grentrsl  depth  of  water 
is  5  fatlionifi.  South  by  east  of  the  Old  fort,  ^of  a  league,  anil  west  of  Cape 
Bonite,  the  same  distance,  is  the  shoal  called  La  Mouton,  and  there  is  a  good 

Eassage  betweeu  it  and  tiie  shore,  or  the  l)\(\  fort;  the  depth  is  jess  considera- 
le,  however,  than  on  the  west  side  of  the  bay.  You  may  go  l)etween  Orange 
key  and  that  shore,  in  deep  water,  and  then  you  will  meet  ivitli  a  small  island, 
called  Kat  key,  between  which  and  Orange  key  you  may  pass,  or  between  the 
shore  And  both ;  but  those  past^ages  are  nut  large  There  are  shoals  ofT  the  shore, 
vhicb  makes  it  necessary  to  keep  closer  to  the  two  islands,  than  tlie  shore. 

One  league  and  a  half  distant  E.  by  N.  of  Orange  key  is  Moustique  key  j 
this  island  is  clear  of  shoals  except  very  close ;  you  may  pass  without  it  or  with- 
in; on  tlie  N.  side  of  it,  one  eiglitii  of  a  leasiuc  from  tlie  bhore,  you  will  have  10 
fathom!--.  If  yoH  sail  within  shore,  you  must  not  keep  too  close  to  the  St.  Do- 
mingo coast,  as  there  is  an  island  between  Cape  Bonile  and  Cape  St.  George, 
You  "ill  fi  id  no  other  shoal  till  you  meet  (tie  Trompense,  which  lies  4  miles 
£.  N.  E.  of  Cape  Ht.  George,  off  which  is  a  shoal  called  La  Teigueusc,  and 
ninniug  out  from  it  about  a  mile.  North  of  Moustique  key  is  Cape  St.  George, 
which  you  may  approach;  and  N.  of  a  key  called  Caye  a  Kainiers,  or  Wood 
Pigeon's  key,  which  bears  K.  by  N.  2  miles  from  Moustique  key.  It  is  known 
by  a  white  hummock,  ralher  steeji,  and  seen  at  some  distance ;  there  is  a  deep 
passage  between  it  and  Moustique  key.  by  vliicli  you  go  into  the  Great  bay  of 
Aquio.  S.  of  Caye  a  Ramiers  lies  a  b)ioal,  which  extends  half  a  league,  and 
has  only  3  fathoms  in  the  middle.  E.  of  the  same  key  is  a  small  island,  called 
]L'Anguille,  (the  Eel.)  and  to  the  N.  E.  is  another  called  La  Regale;  the  three 
form  au  eqiitlateral  tritin^le,  whose  sides  are  nearly  half  a  league. 

To  the  E.  N.  E.  ^  of  a  league  from  Caye  a  Ramiers,  is  the  Great  key  of 
Aquin,  which  is  an  itiand  of  a  tolerable  height,  upon  which  are  two  white  hum- 
mocks, very  remarkable.  This  islnnd  runs  to  the  E.  by  N.  being  ^  of  a  league 
long,  and  ^  league  bpiad,  and  bold  on  the  S.  side.  You  must  take  care  of  the 
Vfbhe  shoaU  of  the  Eel,  which  is  S.  of  the  W.  point,  so  that  it  does  not  leave  a 
passage  between  Caye  a  Ramiers,  and  the  Great  key  of  Aquin,  for  vessels  thift 
draw  more  than  12  or  13  feel  water. 

East  of  the  Isle  of  Aquin  is  a  white  insulated  rock,  at  a  short  ^  league  dis- 
tance, which  is  callel  the  Diamond.  Etist  of  it,  at  two  c.ibles'  length  on  the  St. 
Domingo  shore,  is  the  point  of  Morne  Rouge,  or  Red  hiimmock  ;  so  that  the  E. 
point  of  Aquin,  Diamond  rock,  and  the  point  of  Morne  Rouge,  form  the  tAVo 
passages  into  the  bay.  All  these  shores  and  islands  are  bold  ;  you  »iU  find  in 
the  Morne  Rou^e  passages,  3  and  6  fathoms,  and  between  the  Great  key  of 
Aquin,  and  the  Diamond,  6,  7,  anrl  8.  The  bay  is  very  extensive,  and  trenches 
a  great  way  iu  land,  though  the  water  is  very  stfallow;  anchoring  iu  3  fathoms, 
you  will  be  a  long  way  from  the  land. 

Another  passage  into  the  bay  is  between  Gaye  a  Ramiers  and  the  Moutisqu^ 
key ;  yojj  then  steer  E.  N.  E.  to  come  into  the  mid-channei  between  the  shore' 
and  the  islot ;  when  you  have  doubled  Caye  a  Ramiers  you  will  see  La  Regal^, 
tvhich  is  a  very  low  sandy  islot,  and  leave  it  on  the  starboard  hand,  keeping  iu 
the  m'd-'hannel  between  it  i^nd  the  shore;  then  you  haul  up  for  the  Great  key 
of  Aquin  as  'inch  as  the  wind  will  let  you,  and  anchor  to  the  N.  of  the  Great 
%fiy,  in  P  or  7  fathoms :  hut  you  may,  if  you  rh.iose,  go  farther  in.

the  Cape  of  Itayciiette.  All  the  shore  is  bold  and  free  from  danger,  but  does 
not  offer  any  bay  or  anchorage,  which  would  shelter  you  from  the  common 
breeze.  Two  leagues  and  a  half  belore  you  come  to  C'Hpe  Uayeiietie,  there  is  a 
considerable  depth  of  water  off  the  shore,  w  Inch  is  iron  bound. 

Cape  Bayenette  is  known  by  the  white  hummocks  which  are  at  its  extremity, 
ati<l  forms  the  entrance  of  a  large  bay  of  the  same  name,  that  faces  the  S.  E.  It 
is  supposed  to  take  this  name,  Bayenette,  (i.  c.  Clear  bay,)  from  the  great  depth 
of  water  found  all  over  it,  and  its  being  entirely  clear  of  shoals;  you  are  here 
very  little*  if  at  all  s-heltercd,  and  must  anchor  on  the  N.  side  of  it,  pretty  close 
lo  the  shore.  This  bay  trenches  in  a  league  to  (he  noilhward,  after  w  liich  the 
shore  again  runs  to  the  E.  by  S.  5  leagues,  as  far  as  Cape  Jacquemel,  which  is 
high  and  steep,  n-id  makes  the  W.  entrance  of  Jacquemel  bay.  Fioni  this  ca|>e 
the  coast  runs  W.  N.  W.  as  far  as  Rc(loid)t  point,  wliich  is  well  in  the  bay;  in 
all  this  extent  no  ground  is  to  be  found ;  the  other  «;ntratice  is  Cape  Marethatix. 
When  you  are  between  these  two  points,  and  nearly  in  the  middle  of  the  bny, 
you  will  see  at  the  bottom  of  it  a  reef,  whic'i  you  must  double  to  the  N.  N.  W. 
I  leaving  it  on  the  starboard  side,  you  anchor  between  it  and  the  shore,  which  you 
must  keep  pretty  close  to,  otherw  iee  you  will  have  a  great  depth  of  »faier.  The 
anchorage  for  large  ships  is  E.  of  a  white  hummock,  in  the  bottom  of  the  bay, 
and  W.  of  the  great  reef.  Cape  Marechaiix  bears  N.  N.  E.  a  small  league 
from  Cape  Jacquemel. 

From  Cape  Marechaux  the  land  trenches  in  a  little  to  the  northward,  and 
rounds  out  again  to  Cape  Morne  Ronge,  which  is  seen  at  a  distance,  and  is 
known  by  white  hummocks.  It  bears  E.  10°  N.  20  miles  from  Jacquemel. 
The  coast  in  all  this  space  forms  several  little  coves,  where  small  vessels  may- 
anchor,  but  in  none  of  them  will  they  be  sheltered  any  way. 

One  league  and  a  half  E.  of  Morne  Rouge,  is  Saletrou,  or  Foul  hole,  where 
you  find  a  good  anchorage  for  ships  which  do  not  draw  more  than  16  feet;  lar- 
ger vessels  may  likewise  anchor  there,  but  they  must  lie  farther  out,  where  the 
^■nimd  is  not  so  good.  ^ 

From  Morne  Rouge  the  coast  trenches  in  a  little  to  the  northward,  then  out 
again,  running  to  the  E.  S.  E.  as  far  as  the  Anses  a  Titres,  or  Pitres  coves, 
which  is  the  last  French  settlement  on  the  S.  of  St.  Domingo.  All  this  part  of 
the  coast  is  very  safe,  and  you  may  approach  without  fear. 

There  is  good  anchorage  at  the  Anses  a  Pitres,  which  is  very  easy  to  come 
at;  you  must  not  be  afraid  of  running  in,  as  nt  two  miles  distance  from  the  shore 
the  water  is  very  deep.  All  this  shore  appears  while,  and  the  coast  is  chalky. 
You  may  anchor  either  before  the  plain  of  Anses  a  Pitres,  or  south  of  a  small 
cape,  which  is  before  the  mouth  of  a  river,  aud  consi<l« table  enough  to  be  easily 
distinguished ;  the  water  is  smooth,  and  you  are  well  sheltered  iu  6  or  8  fathoms, 
good  ground,  or  in  4  fathoms  farther  iu  shore. 

From  this  anchorage  the  coast  begins  to  run  to  the  southward,  trenching  in  to 
the  eastward  one  league,  to  form  a  cove,  called  Sans  Fond,  or  bottonjless  cove. 
It  runs  afterwards  S.  by  \V.  as  far  as  the  False  cape,  (Cape  Lopez,)  which  hears  0 
leagues  S,  E.  ^  F.  of  Morne  Rouge,  and  1.7A  leagues  E.by  S.  from  Ja<;queQd.

and  then  N.  E.  ^  N.  ami  N  N.  E.  to  form  tin:  GicBt  bay  of  Niyba.  Soulli  of 
the  Fali-e  cape  If  league,  is  an  iaiol  callcil  llic  l-'railcs,  wliicii  is  bold  and  hhIc. 
To  the  S.  S.  E.  at  the  same  di»tai)ce  U  ain)llier  i^lol,  called  Allavella,  €(|ually

is  Oeata  it-land,  whose  length  ia  one  league  north  andsduth,  and  its  bieadth  tad 
and  wcKt  2  miles.  There  is  a  breaker  oil'lhe  X.  by  E.  part  of  it,  that  runs  to- 
wards  Cape  Mongon,  art  whos^c  extremity  is  a  white  shoal,  which  very  much  nar- 
lOMs  the  passage  between  lieita  and  the  shore;  )  on  liave  but  tlirc  fathoms  water 
ill  the  passage,  with  a  tolerable  anchoiage  to  the  westward  of  Ueata,  belwceu  it 
and  the  bhorc;  iu  8  or  10  fathoms,  grassy  ground. 

You  may  generally  see  the  bottom,  near  all  these  islands;  bat  the  water  is 
very  deep  near  the  shore  of  St.  Domingo.  This  part  of  the  c.oaat,  which  project* 
towards  tlic  south  from  the  ses  shore  to  Cape  Moiigon,  as  far  as  three  leagues  >i . 
and  as  far  as  the  sea  towards  the  E.  and  W.  is  a  flat  of  white  and  hard  rocks,  in 
which  jou  see  large  holes  and  breakings,  au<l  which  is  about  40  feetliigli;  no- 
thing grows  there  but  some  prickly  shrubs. 

When  you  come  from  the  southward  or  eastward,  and  are  bound  to  the  N. 
side  of  St.  Domingo,  you  must  make  the  islands  of  \Iona  and  Moijita,  which  arc 
two  small  islands  situated  in  liie  passage  between  Portorico  and  the  island  of  St. 
Domingo;  they  are  both  clear  and  safe,  aud  you  may  go  witliiu  two  miles  of 
either  of  tirem;  and  there  is  <;ven  an  anchorage  to  the  leeward  of  Mona,  half  a 
league  from  it,  tn  7  or 8  fathoms,  saird  an<l  weeds;  having  then  the  N.  W.  point 
of  Mona  N.  by  E.  2  miles,  the  S.  >V.  point,  (off  which  is  u  small  reef,)  S.  E.  -J  E. 
and  Monica  N.  by  VV^  You  pass  to  the  westward  of  Mona,  and  when  you  have 
brought  it  to  bear  E.  S.  E.  ^5  or  -t  leagues,  you  will  perceive  the  const  of  St.  Do- 
mingo. All  tliis  S.  E.  part  is  very  low,  and  in  the  channel  the  current  which 
sets  to  the  uarthward,  is  very  perceivubUr. 

The  point  of  St.  Domingo  nearest  Mona  is  cape  Espada;  a  lovr  point  encompas- 
ged  with  a  reef  and  a  white  ground;  It  bears  from  Mona,  nearly  SV.  N.  W.  10  or 
1 1  league?.  From  Cape  Espa«la  the  coabt  runs  N.  by  E.  4  or  5  leagues,  as  fur 
as  Cape  del  Elganno ;  this  is  a  small  flat  point,  ofT  which  stretche*  a  reef  to  the 
Jf .  K.  2  miles.  ^A'hen  you  are  abreast  of  it,  you  lose  sight  of  the  idaiids  of 
Mona  and  Monic:<. 

From  Cape  del  Enganuo  tlte  coast  runs  N.  VV.  ^  N.  1 2  leagues  ;  it  is  low  to 
witiirn  3  lcagu<'s  S.  of  Cape  Raphael,  where  it  begins  to  rise  a  Httle,  till  y«i 
come  to  Cape  Kaphael  itJ-clf,  whieli  is  of  a  middling  height,  and  appears  at  a 
distance  like  an  island  ;  it  is  easily  known  by  a  round  mountain  sceu  inUnd,and 
not  unlike  a  sug»r  loaf. 

From  Cape  Raiihasl  the  coast  runs  W.  by  N.  and  then  W.  to  form  the  Great 
bay  of  Samana,  which  is  shut  to  the  N.  W.  by  Point  a  Crapins,  or  Grapels 
point,  which  is  2  leagues  S.  S.'W.  5"  W.  of  Cnpe  Samana, 

Cape  Snuaana,  ig  about  7  leagues  Tf.  W.  ^  W.  of  Cape  Raphael.  You  may 
anchor  ii^  the  north  pari  of  S.unana  bay,  ranging  along  Point  a  Grapins,"  at  ^ 
league  distance;  you  leave  on  your  larboai'd  hand  3  keys,  covered  wiih  wood, 
and  when  the  westernmost  is  brouglUlo  bear  S.  S.  W.  you  drop  the  anchor  ia 
13  f<«thoms  water,  good  ground,  a  short  \  league  from  the  shore;  then  Bannister 
key  ought  to  be  W.  by  N   one  mile. 

The  sotUh  aachorige  of  the  hay  is  very  diflicult,  the  passage  to  it  being  very 
narrow ;  the  middle  of  the  bay  is  sliut  in  by  shoals ;  and  in  ranging  along  the  en- 
trance of  tl»c  bay  the  bottom  is  seen  in  7  and  10  fathoms. 

In  coming  to  the  southward  of  Cape  Espado,  you  will  see  tlie  small  island 
Sao'.ia,  wiruh  is  covered  with  trees,  and  surrounded  with  a  white  shoal,  project- 
ing ab^ut  2  miles.  Between  it  and  the  coast  of  St.  Domingo,  which  runs  W.  8" 
I?,  the  parage  is  very  shoal  and  nairow. 

The  coast  of  St.  Domingo  trenches  a  little  to  the  northward  towards  St.  Ca» 
thariiie's  island,  distant  from  Saosa  8  leagues;

of  Maiito  Domingo,  which  lies  13  leagues  from  the  island  of  Ht.  Catherine,  ?7 
leagiu'ti  from  Cape  Ksp:ida,  and  20  leagues  from  the  point  of  Saona  island. — 
You  may  anchor  before  the  river  of  Santo  Domingo,  pretty  close  to  the  shore, 
and  vessels  not  dfawing  more  than  14  feet  waterntrny  go  into  the  river. 

Thie  place  which  is  the  metropolis  of  the  Spanii^h  part  of  St.  Domingo,  ).■« 
known  by  a  great  fort,  built  on  the  right  hand  bank  of  the  river  Ozama,  upon 
which  the  city  is  situated.  You  wiH  likewiiwpriceive  to  the  weotward  of  Ihi; 
fort,  a  large  Savanna,  forming  au  ampilliciktre,  which  HtFurds  a  delightful  pros- 
pect. 

From  Santo  Domingo  the  coast  nins  W.  S.  W,14  lengiiea,  asfaraattie  Point 
des  Salines,  or  Salt  Pans  point ;  then  it  trffiches  in  to  the  k jrthward  to  form  the 
great  bay  of  JVeyba,  which  take*  its  name  from  a  large  river,  wiiose  mouth  is  in 
tlie  bottom  of  the  buy.     From  this  river  the  coast  niris  fouth,  to  form  Cape  Bea 
(a,  which  is  S.  W.  J  \V.  of  Santo  Domingo,  and  24  leagues  distant. 

In  sailing  from  Santo  Dnmingo  to  Cape  Beata,  you  must  giiartl  against  the 
currents  which  run  to  the  eastward,  along  the  coast,  and  in  tlie  entrance  of 
JSeyba  bay  are  setting  weakly  to  the  northward. 


Observhtions  on  the  navigation  round  the  Gonavc  Islands,  and  in 
.^  ....,  ihe  Southern  Channel.  ■' -  .'.4-' 

TIIK  most  dangerous  reefs  are  those  which  seem  to  be  joined  with  the  land 
of  the  Little  Gonave.  ami  are  stretchetl  above  a  lca<;ne  in  the  oiling;  however, 
they  lie  at  about  a  mile  from  the  shore,  and  you  mi;;;bt  pass,  in  an  urgent  case, 
between  them  and  the  Little  Gonave,  even  with  a  ship;  but  the  attempt  would 
be  imprudent,  if  you  arc  not  forced  to  do  it,  and  have  not  theVind  well  set  id, 
as  the  currents  arc  very  sti-ong  and  irregular,  though  ttiey  run  more  generally  to 
N.  N.  E.  in  this  part,  and  beUveen  the  two  Gonaives. 

Small  vessels,  drawing  S  or  9  feet  water,  may  find  a  gomi  anchorage  to  tlic 
west  of  the  Little  Gonave ;  to  come  to  it  the  south  channel  is  far  preferable  t«» 
tlntt  of  the  north. 

The  N.  E.  point  of  the  Gonave,  called  Galet  point,  is  low  and  bordered 
with  a  reef  which  stretches  along  tlie  east  coast,  coming  from  the  south,  and  ex- 
tends a  little  more  than  1i  mile  opposite  the  place  called  Trou<a  I'Eau,  or 
Water  hole ;  within  is  a  white  ground,  where  you  find  from  4  to  €  fathonis 
water. 

To  sail  near  this  reef,  which  every  vessel  can  do,  that  draws  9  or  1 0  feet,  you 
must,  in  coming  from  the  east,  take  a  channel  which  h  opposite  a  fisherman's 
hut.  There  are  several  other  channels,  which  are  easily  known  by  the  nou- 
Sippearance  of  white  ground ;  about  88  fathoms  within  the  reef  you  may  range 
along  the  coast  as  far  as  Galet  cove,  in  case  the  wind  should  fail,  there  is  »u- 
chorage  every  where ;  but  the  places  to  be  preferred  are  Piron  cove,  Constau- 
tine's  hole,  and  especially  Galet  cove,  which  is  very  convenient,  the  hold  a  good, 
and  the  reefs  shelter  you  from  the  swell  of  the  sea. 

The  several  anchorages  on  the  N.  coast  for  boats  or  schooners  are  L'Tslet  a 
Marc,  Grand  Lagoon,  and  Bahama  channel,  where  you  are  equally  sheltered; 
the  remainder  of  the  coast  is  likewise  bordered  widi  reels,  but  tliey  are  very 
Dear  the  shore,  and  you  find  there  no  anchorage. 

The  \V.  part  is  an  iron  bound  coast,  alo'ig  which  you  may  range  pretty  near, 
but  it  is  nut  so  from  the  S.  W.  pouit  to  Point  a-Retures,  where  you  find  n  num- 
ber of  small  reefs  asunder,  and  almost  even  with  the  water.  Several  small  ves> 
sels  may  anchor  in  that  pnit,  on  the  spot  named  Lcs  SaleincA,  or  tlie  Whales  j 
but  vou  can'iot  do  it  wi'hout  a  pilot  well  acquainted.

The  extent  of  the  n.ck;*  Avhirh  arc  toward  the  middle  of  this  reef,  is  about  1 10 
fathoms,  they  are  quiie  uncoveriil  at  low  tide,  but  three  heads  jidy  arc  per 
ceived  at  lii<di  water.  There  are  two  other  thoals  of  very  small  extent,  wliirh 
arc  dangerous,  having  only  2  fadioms  water.  They  lie  to  the  N.  W.  of  the 
rocks  in  the  middle,  one  at  tiOO  fathoms  distance,  ai.d  tht;  other  at  200.  Tlicrc 
may  be  some  <lanj;ers  on  the  Kochelois,  and  jirudeiicc  requires  that,  with  ajjrcat 
ship,  you  should  avoid  it  entirely;  there  is  more  room  for  tacking  io  the  N.  of 
that  reef  than  to  the  southward  of  it.  You  are  oidy  to  keep  at  the  dintance  of 
«iie  mile  at  least  irom  the  Gonave,  if  you  pass  by  the  north;  whereas,  in  pass- 
iiig  by  the  south,  you  may  range  along  tlie  bt.  Domingo  coast,  which  is  safe  aitd

Instructions  for  sailing  along  the  Coasts,  and  into  the  Harbours  oj 
Jamaica,  Port  Royal,  and  its  Channels. 

BEFNG  oil  Morant  Point,  or  the  east  end  of  Jamaica,  and  bound  to  Port  Ro- 
yal, you  arc  to  steer  down  Z  or  4  miles  ofT shore,  imtil  past  Morant  bay  ;  as  thr 
coast  from  the  east  eml  to  tlie  southward  of  Rocky  point,  is  lined  with  a  reef 
that  stretches  2  mih  s  at  sea.  and  part  of  which  icef  generally  bre  iks. 

From  Rocky  pcint  to  the  westward,  the  coast  continues  roeky,  about  onemilf- 
lirom  the  shore,  as  far  as  Morant  liay  ;  tlun  it  is  clear  till  j  ou  com*  to  the  white 
clilFs, called  the  White  Horses,  of  which  there  are  some  rocks  about  half  a  milr 
iirom  the  shore. 

From  tlie  White  Horses  to  Yalbh's  Point,  the  distance  is  about  13  miles  ; 
in  running  it  flown,  when  the  former  bears  north,  and  Yallah's  Point  west,  you 
will  have  soundings,  and  frequently  see  the  bottom  in  '\.  8,  9,  and  10  fathoms  ; 
and  as  you  approach  Yallah'h  Point,  the  water  deepens  till  you  lo^e  soundings. 

Fr(m)  Yallah's  Point  to  Cow  Bay  Point,  there  is  no  dangi;r ;  tiris  Point  is  low, 
but  bold  to,  as  well  as  all  the  coast  to  the  westward  as  far  as  Plumb  Poim.  The 
ooitrse  between  the  two  |)oints  is  W.  by  N.  8  miles  ;  but  if  you  arc  3  or  4  miles 
tiom  Cow  Bay  P«iint.  you  mnst  steer  more  to  the  northward. 

Plumb  Point  h  the  S.  E.  point  of  the  Pallissadoes  ;  you  may  lUn  in  boldly  for

The  moat  reinarktble  shoal  in  the  E.  chaninl,  is  llirMi  idle  Ground,  or  east- 
rrn  Middle  Ground,  which  lies  1^  mileS.  S.  W.  fiom  Plumb  point  ;  it  consists 
of  two  patches,  rocky  bottom;  the  E.  patch  havina  lu  feet,  and  \V,  patch 
(about  70  fathoms  to  the  W.  N.  W.  of  the  other  onh  )  liaviiij>;  0  feet ;  they  are 
divided  by  a  narrow  swatch  10  fathoms  <le"p,  and  both  bieak  with  strong  sea 
breezes.  You  may  sail  within  the  Middle  Ground,  or  without  it  to  the  south- 
ward, as  necessity  requires,  but  to  the  norihward  is  the  best  and  safest  chanuel. 
The  soundings  in  that  channel  are  uneven,  from  7  to  19  or  20  fathoms;  birt 
when  you  are  past  the  Middle  Ground,  they  are  regular,  from  19  to  13  fathome 
between  Uackham  and  Gun  ke}  s. 

The  first  key  you  meet  with,  steering  from  the  Middle  Ground  towards  Port 
Royal,  is  Lime  key,  from  the  N.  end  of  which  a  reef  slretches  al)ouf  a  cable's 
length  ;  your  eye  is  the  beat  mark  for  it,  as  it  is  generally  seen ;  to  the  westward 
of  the  key  lies  another  shoal,  with  8  or  10  feet  upon  it. 

The  Kiiowl  of  Port  Uoyal  point,  is  the  tliini  shoal ;  it  is  a  small  hani  coral 
bank  to  Ui<^  southtvard  of  the  point,  with  only  10  feet  water  upon  it.  If  your 
iiliip  draws  12  or  1 3  feet  w  ater,  you  must  be  careful  to  keep  clear  of  it. 

1.  To  go  within  the  Knowl,  the  leading  mark  istobrioi;  the  highest  bush  on 
Gun  key  (which  is  near  the  middle  of  il)  in  one  with  Yallah's  point;  you  have 
then  lo  fathoms  water,  and  the  channel  is  70  fathoms  wide.  The  mark  to  strike 
the  Kuowl,  is,  the  S.  point  of  Gun  key,  on  the  high  hill  of  Vallah's,  or  a  ship's 
length  open  of  Yallah's  point:  the  breast  mark  is  the  church  on  the  7th  or  8th 
cmbrazuie  of  the  fort  Saudy  key  just  opeu  willi  Lime  key,  and  you  will  hare 
16  or  17  feet  water. 

2.  To  go  between  the  Knowl  and  the  Middle  Ground,  which  lies  about  300 
fathoms  to  the  south-weetward  of  it,  the  leading  mark  is  True  Land's  hummock, 
within  Yallah's,  on  tlue  southernmost  part  of  Gun  key,  or  Yallah's  point  well 
open  to  the  northward  of  the  N.  point  of  Rackham's  key.  This  channel  which 
is  the  widest,  and  has  12  fathoms  water,  is  mostly  used  wheu  taken  with  the, 
land  wind.  When  the  church  is  on  the  second  embrazure,  counting  from  the 
westward,  this  Middle  Ground  is  called  the  Western  ground.  The  anchorage  is 
good  all  over  Port  Royal  harbour;  but  the  best  anchoring  for  ships  that  are 
bound  to  sea,  is  in  0  fathoms,  with  a  notch  on  the  E.  side  of  a  high  mountain, 
called  the  Leading  notch,  a  little  open  to  tlie  eastward  of  Fort  Augusta  and 
Rackham  key,  iu  one  with  Port  Royal  point. 

Togo  to  sea  from  Port  Royal,  you  make  use  of  the  south  or  the  new  channel; 
the  small  craft  generally  go  through  the  east  channel,  but  it  is  to  be  avoided  by 
large  vessels,  except  they  are  prime  sailors,  and  have  a  strong  land  breeze  or 
aorth,  with  an  appearance  of  its  lasting  long  enough  to  carry  them  through. 

\Vhen  you  arc  bound  through  the  South  channel,  you  siipuld  get  under  weigh 
nrith.the  laud  wiod,  a3  bood  in  the  nionjipg  as  you  can  see  the  marks,  observing

hrefzes,  and  bctuceo  it  and  Drunken  ManV  Key  is  a  channel,  having  t}  or  7 
fathoms  water. 

The  Turtle  hendu  arc  three  daiiperous  spots,  with  10  or  11  fett  water  on 
their  shoalest  part,  an<l  deep  water  close  to  tlMfm.  The  South  Knowls  to  the 
S.  E.  of  these  heads,  are  two  small  patrhcs  about  70  fathoms  asunder,  with  23 
fc'tt  water  on  tlhjm.^  And  to  tlieS.  by  W .  of  these  lies  One  bush  reef,  which  al- 
ways breaks,  and  is  almost  »<teep  to.  The  Three  fathom  bank  ia  a  large  coral 
slioal,  with  10  or  20  feet  water,  which  breake  with  stroiis  sea  breeze^.  A  small 
patch  about  a  quarter  of  a  mile  lo  the  S.  S.  K.  of  it  ha?  20  feel  water ;  it  is  cal- 
led the  Warrior's  bank,  from  the  English  f^ip  the  Warrior  having  lost  her  rud~ 
der  there  in  1 782. 

On  the  east  side  of  the  south  channel,  th"  Little  Portuguese,  is  the  southern- 
most siioaj ;  it  has  from  t'2  to  20  fi  et  water,  and  in  general  a  great  B\fe\l. 

The  New  channel  lies  to  the  eastward  of  the  South  channel,  and  almost  par- 
allel to  it,  and  was  surveyed,  l>uoyed,  and  first  used  by  order  of  Admiral  Affleck, 
while  l>e  conmiunded  on  the  Jamaica  station;  it  is  certainly  preferable,  on 
many  accounts,  to  the  South  channel ;  it  has  smooth  water  till  you  come  to  South 
Key,  with  good  anchoring  ground,  easy  riding,  and  a  facility  of  going  to  sea  to 
tlte  southward  with  the  sea  breeze,  as  far  as  S.  \l.  &c. 

The  leading  mark  to  enter  this  channel  is  a  remarkable  flat  hummock  on  tiie

farther  to  avoid  llock  reef  and  the  key.  There  are  soundings  so  far  out  as  to 
brin;;  the  easternmost  land  of  HeUshire  tobear  N.  by  K.  and  Rocky  point,  or 
timsourthernmost  land  of  Portland  N.  W.  by  \.  At  the  same  bearings  sound- 
Hiss  have  been  found  froin  1 7  to  23  fathoms,  and  the  ne.Yt  cabt  no  srouiid  with 
'.;o  fathoms  line,  thongli  not  a  ship's  lei»gth  between  the  fust  and  the  Fast.  Upon 
tliis  flat  arc  several  keys,  two  of  which  bear  from  PortlaiMi  li.  distance  two  or 
l^iree  miles,  and  Negro  licad  rock,  wilii  the  other  keys,  lie  in  N.  E.  by  which  is 
the  going  into  Old  harbour;  right  oflT  from  Portland  you  have  gradual  souud- 
iiips  for  0  or  9  miles. 

From  Portland  S.  distance  13  or  14  leagues,  lies  Portland  rock,  which  is  a 
single  key,  and  little  Wslicr  than  Drunkiii  Man's  Key,  oiT  Port  Royal,  with 
•mall  bushes  on  it;  a  mile  from  tliis  rock  are  knowls  of  14  and  15  fathoms 
water. 

To  sail  itUo  Carlisle  bay,  or  Withy  wood  road,  you  must  keep  tp  the  west- 
w  ard,  till  you  bring  a  little  round  hill  in  the  buy  to  bear  N.  or  N.  by  W.  (taking 
care  in  coming  from  the  eastward  to  keo|)  oflfBhoie,  so  as  to  avoid  Rocky  point* 
to  which  you  roust  alvfi  «  good  birth  of  3  or  4  miles.)  Keep  the  same  bearing 
as  you  run  in  sight  of  the  Old  Fort;  tlicn  between  you  and  the  hill,  in  10.  8,  7, 
0,  •'>,  4, 3|  fathoms  water,  when  you  will  be  within  a  mile  and  a  half  from  the 
shore.  The  fort  N.  E.  orN.  N.  K.  is  the  best  place  lo  anchor  in^for -loading, 
because  your  boats  can  sail  both  a  shore  and  aboarrl  with  the  sea  winds,  and  tliei^

rock,  with  only  4  feet  water,  »nd  a  reef  whii  li  has  K  'eel  ;  a  general  leadiii;; 
mark  is  to  bring  the  fort  north,  and  kti  pit  so  all  along  I'le  (iiaiinel ;  oni  the  best 
and  surest  way  is  to  bring  the  large  gap  at  the  N.  end  of  Dolphin's  he  id,  in

bearing  N,  |  W.  'i'his  carrries  you  close  to  the  Middle  Giduiid,  which  you

in  17,  16,  or  15  feet  wuttr.  Uut  strangers  should  not  attempt  to  enter  wiihoui 
a  |diot. 

From  Pedro  blulT lo  Ncgiil  by  South,  whicli  lits  in  Int.  IS''  17'  N.  the  coui'sc 
is  VV.  N.  \V.  or  N.  W.  by  W.  about  20  leaaue^. 

From  Negril  by  S.  to  Negri!  by  N.ihe  ila;  c«tiirse  is  N.  i  E.  9  miles  and  all 
round  this  VV  end  of  Jamaica,  it  is  flat  off,  with  good  sonndingii  for  a  long  way. 
Jletween  Negril  by  North  and  Lucca  harbour,  or  St.  Lucy  arc  several  plac(s, 
as  Orange  bay,  Green  island,  nnd  Davis's  cove,  which  are  Keldom  Ubcd  but  by 
those  who  go  thither  on  purpose  to  iund,  and  have  pilots  on  board. 

Lucca  harbour  is  about  \h  or  lt3  miles  north  eai-twaid  of  Negril  by  North. 
When  )ou  are  out  in  tlie  ofline;,  the  marks  to  know  this  place,  and  sail  into  it  are 
as  follow  :  open  the  harbour  by  bringing  the  Dolphin's  bend  t'»  bear  seuth,  then 
steer  right  in,  uiiich  will  lead  you  in  sight  of  ijie  fort.  You  may  borrow  aa 
close  to  the  E.  side  of  the  harbour  us  you  please  ;  but  on  the  W.  8)#  you  must 
not  come  too  near,  for  there  lies  a  stony  bank  (about  a  musket  shdf  N.  from  the 
point  oil  wliicli  the  fort  stands)  to  which  you  nui^t  eive  a  good  birth. 

On  the  E.  side  you  will  have  7,  6,  5|.  and  i  fathoms  water,  very  enod  an- 
choring ground,  till  you  come  to  the  am  liori<»e  in  the  harbour,  in  5)-,  5,  and 
4}  lallioms.  la  (he  middle  of  the  harbour  there  is  a  small  rock,  which  is  steep 
all  round.  ^. 

Mosqtiito  cove  is  an  excellent  harbour,  secure  from  alt  winds ;  tlie  cliannel  at 
the  entrance  is  little  mote  lh»i)  half  n  cable  broad,  but  it  widens  as  you  go  in, 
'Mitli  a  depth  from  7  to  0  3.  and  4^  /athoms,  mud. 

Montego  (or  Monteca)  bay,  lies  R.  by  N.  from  Lucea  bail)our,  about  20  miles. 
In  going  in  there,  if  you  »ail  from  the  ea^ward,  you  must  givd'  th<^ point  a  good 
birth  of  5  or  0  miles,  as  you  come  down  (on  accouiit  of  the  reef  which  runs  oiT, 
and  may  be  seen)  till  you  open  the  town,  and  bring  Ihe  Oiio  tavern  to  bear  S.  E. 
Then  stand  in  for  It,  which  will  carry  you  clear  of  the  reeCto  the  west\*ard,  and 
thus  run  in  till  you  shut  in  the  point  to  the  oorthward  of  the  fort,  when  you  will 
come  in  upon  soundings  in  the  bay. 

Id  sailing  along  the  reef,  you  have  10,  12,  14, 15,  20,  anrt  90  on  to  30  fathoms 
water  in  the  bay,  it  being  a  sin  Iving  bank,.     If  you  come  to  au  anchor  in  20  or 


'26b' 


Blunt's  American  Coast  Pilot.

30  latlioUB,  jour  anchor  will  not  hold ;  if  in  dccprr  water,  you  are  ii  (lan<!;r.r  of 
diivins;  olf  the  bank.  To  come  to  the  best  anclioiing ground,  which  is  in  0.  10, 
11,  or  12  fathoms  water,  you  briii";  the  fort  to  hear  N.  by  E.  and  Ihi-  Gun  ta- 
vern h.  by  S.  but  with  small  vessels  you  may  go  up  the  bay  to  anchor  in  7,  (J, 
5,  and  4  fathoms. 

In  working  from  hence  to  windwaVd,  when  it  fs  clear  weather,  you  may  dis- 
cern tile  copper  iiiils,  tiie  liigliGst  on  "he  islind  of  Cuba.  They  hear  from  Mon- 
teso  point  N.  E.  by  N.  distaul  about  31  leagues;  aud  from  St.  Ann's  bay  N, 
and  N.  N".  E.  about  30. 

From  Montego  point,  7  leagues  E,  lies  Martha  Brea,  or  Drae,  where  vessels 
load;  though  the  pla;.e  is  frequented  only  by  those  wiio  go  Jicre  on  purpose; 
There  is  a  bar  with  ItJ  or  17  feet  in  going  iu,  aud  the  passage  in  coming  out, 
between  the  Triangle  rocks,  is  not  more  than  tJO  feet  wide,  with  (Jf  or  7  fathoms 
■water. 

About  14  uiilcs  to  the  eastward  of  this  pla<e,  you  come  to  Rio  Bueno,  where 
a  ship  may  lie,  bringing  the  H'lint  N.  N.  W  in  8  or  9  falhoms  water.  The  bank 
is  steep. 

From  llio  Bueno,  I  or  5  miles  eastward,  is  Dry  harbour,  a  good  place  for 
small  vessels,  but  the  channel  is  narrow,  and  has  but  10  feet  water. 

Fifteen  miles  furilier  from  Dry  harbour  is  St.  Ann's  bay  :  the  usual  method 
of  going  in  there,  between  the  two  reefs  at  the  entrance,  as  the  water  is  clear, 
is  to  sail  close  to  the  westernmost  reef,  leaving  it  on  the  starboard  iidc  ;  but 
there  is  always  a  pilot  at  this  place.  You  anchor  in  t\  or  7  fathoms,  good 
ground. 

About  10  miles  to  the  we;  twurd  of  St.  Ann's  bay  is  Oclio  rio.  (or  Othec  rees) 
bay,  to  anchor  in  which,  you  may  siil  l)y  the  reef  to  the  westward.  This  reef 
spits  off  from  the  E.  side  of  the  bay;  so  you  must  liaul  up,  and  bring  ilii  wesl- 
crunioKt  part  N.  \.  W.  or  N.  W.  in  7  fathoms  water.  There  is  another  reef 
to  the  southward  of  you,  but  as  the  water  is  very  clear,  your  eye  may  be  your 
pilot. 

From  Oclio  rio  bay  to  Ora  Cabeca  bay,  an  open  anchorage  to  N.  and  X.  \V. 
•winds,  the  distance  is  12  niihs  K.  fialina  point  is  about  5  miles  E.  of  this  last

bin a  point. 

To- s.ii!  i.ito  Port  Maria,  from  the  ensfward,  yo:;  v.  ill  fee  the  high  island  of 
Cabarita,  Avhich  must  be  kept  a  little  to  the  larboard  bow,  so  as  to  give  the  N. 
part  of  that  island  a  birth  of  a  pistol  shot ;  then  lulF  right  in,  and  anchor  close 
under  the  island,  in  4  or  /r  fathoms  water,  where  you  will  be  within  a  cable's 
length  of  l|^  island,  and  one  aud  a  half  from  the  main;  small  vessels  mayan- 
clior  betweeifihe  island  and  the  main.  Observe  that  when  you  lie  here  at  an/ 
tUne,  you  must  buoy  your  cables,  because  ships  are  too  ofleu  apt,  to  heave  thciv 
baUast  overboard,  and  spoil  the  ground. 

If  youareto  sail  from  the  eastward  into  Ora  Cabeca,  you  must  go  in  by  the 
W,  of  Oalina  point;  but  if  you  are  ofli'at  sea,  and  want  to  go  iu  for  that  poin;, 
you  must  bring  the  westernmost  land  of  the  QljikMouotains  S,  by  E.  ^  E.  and 
keep  it  so,  which  will  leart  you  in  with  the  pom:  To  anchor  in  Ora  Cabeca 
bay,  bring  the  easternmost  point  of  the  reef  N".  E.  by  N.  distance  about  ^  of  a 
mite,  and  a  house  npon  (lie  hill,  on  the  larboard  side,  8.  E.  by  S. ;  bring  aUo 
the  Guard  house,  on  the  W.  side  of  the  river,  S.  W.  by  S.  distance  half  a  mile, 
and  the  westernmost  BlnlT  point  W.  by  N.  then  you  will  have  .5f  fathoms  wa- 
ter, saody  ground.  You  may  flilso  anchor  further  iu  undof  the  lUd  cliff,  bear- 
ing W.  S.  VV.  and  there  you  will  have  deep  water. 

Thirteen  iniles  S.  E.  of  Porto  IVIaria,  is  Anatta  bay ;  to  sail  into  this  open  an- 
chorage from  the  eastward,  you  must  steer  down  for  Green  Castle  ulndmill,  until 
you  bring  Old  Shaw's  house  (in  the  middle  of  the  bay)  S.  of  you ;  then  push  ia

clear,  and  moor  in  (J  or  7  fatltoms,  wlicii  you  will  be  one  iourth  of  a  mile  from 
the  shore. 

About  0  leagues  H.  by  E.  i  Vi.  from  Aiiatta  bay,  is  Port  Antonio,  which  was 
formerly  a  king's  port,  and  lliere  still  are  to  be  seen  the  remaius  of  the  careening 
wharf,  &c.  It  is  divided  into  two  harbour;;,  viz.  llie  oasl  and  the  west.  To 
9:iil  into  the  ca^t  iiarbour,  coming  frotn  the  sea,  bring  the  eastern  part  of  the  Iliuc 
Mountains  to  bear  S.  S.  VV.  and  steer  in  that  course,  wiiich  will  carry  you  in 
si^ht  of  the  Commodore's  houhC,  upon  IVavy  island;  keep  tliat  on  your  slur- 
board  side,  keeping  about  mid-channel  bettteeri  Navy  is-lfltid  and  the  east  point 
of  Mr.  Pleasant's  house  (which  is  2  stories  high)  ojienof  the  Fort  point.  Tliei-e 
is  in  the  midille  of  tlie  east  harbour  a  it-ef  of  7  feet  water,  which  keeps  off  the 
swell  sent  in  by  a  N.  wind ;  and  without  or  within  this  reef  you  may  anchor  ;  if 
you  choose  the  latter,  you  must  keep  over  to  the  I'orl  side,  till  you  open  a  ga;at 
Cotton  tree,  with  Mr.  Trower's  house  on  the  east  shore ;  then  you  may  haul  up, 
aad  come  to  an  anclior  in  7  fathoms  water,  goo<l  holding  gruund  both  here  and 
without;  indeed  it  is  difficult  to  get  the  anchors  out  of  the  ground.  The  east 
harbour  is  not  so  secure  as  the  west,  being  exposed  to  the  north,  which  sends  in 
a  great  swell;  i^ut  its  channel  being  broader,  is  not  so  diflicult. 

If  baind  into  the  west  harbour,  after  making  the  entrance,  which  may  be 
seen  2  or  3  leagues  off,  by  the  houtes  on  Titchiield,  or  Navy  island,  you  may 
run  close  to  Folly  point,  and  then  steer  on  for  the  Fort  till  you  bring  some  negro 
huts  below  Bryan'.s  house,  open  of  the  (Md  Warehouse;  this  keeps  you  clear 
of  the  shore  lying  off  Navy  island,  on  which  are  coral  rocks,  wliereon  you  have 
not  more  ihan  9  or  10  feet  water.  You  miy  keep  as  close  to  the  breakers  off 
the  Fort  as  you  please,  being  sleep  to.  When  near  abreait  of  the  Old  wharf, 
you  may  haul  in,  and  anchor  at  pleasure,  in  6  and  7  fathoms,  muddy  clay.  The 
entrance  of  this  harbour  is  so  narrow  (not  being  above  70  fathoms  wide)  that  it 
must  not  be  attempted,  without  a  leading  wind.  There  is  a  channel  fw  vessels 
of  9  or  10  feet  draught  of  water,  through  the  reef,  to  the  westward  of  Xavy 
i!«land.

Directions  for  sailing  from  Port  Royal  to  Moraiit  Point,  or  tiie 


East  end  of  Jamaica.       **< 


'.i-*!- 


,*»• 


THE  best  way  in  sailing  from  Jamaica,  for  tlie  windward  passage,  is  to  get 
as  soen  as  you  can  the  coast  of  llispaniola  on  board,  where  you  will  neve*  miss 
of  a  windward  current,  and  in  the  evening  the  wind  off  shore.  Coming  out  of 
Pott  Hoyal,  after  you  are  clear  of  the  keys,  reach  off  till  1  o'clocK,  and  then 
you  will  be  well  in  by  the  time  the  land  breezes  come  on.  You  nun'  turn  or 
stand  into  13  fathoms  water  aback  of  the  keys,  for  within  that  depth  it  is  not 
safe ;  they  stretch  N.  E.  by  E.  and  S.  W.  by  W.  There  is  a  shoal  which  lies 
about  \\  mile  off  the  shore,  be' ween  the  Yallah's  and  the  White  horses ;  and 
nothing  else  till  you  come  to  Morant  keys,  or  the  Ranas.  If  you  have  occasion 
to  sail  into  Port  Morant,  the  following  directions  will  be  your  guide. 

Obsei-ve-  a  house  which  stands  upon  a  hill,  on  a  red  ground;  the  hill  being 
ii<»ht  over  the  road  leading  to  the  path,  which  you  may  always  see ;  bring  that 
house  and  the  path  due  north,  then  you  may  tail  into  the  bay  with  safety. 
Take  care  not  to  sail  too  near  the  leeward  or  windward  reef,  but  bring  your 
marks  north,  as  above  mentioned.  Then  you  will  find  9,  8,  7t,  7,  6^,  6,  5,  and 
i  less  5  to  4  fathoms  water,  till  you  have  opened  the  Cooper's  house  and  tlie 
Store  house  on  the  E.  side  of  the  bay;  after  which  you  come  to  an  anchor,  ib 
what  water  you  please ;  though  there  is  on  the  same  si^de  a  bank,  right  before  the 
Store  house,  and  not  far  from  the  shore,  with  not  more  titan  3  and  2t  fathoiij.son 
it     Note— That  this  sailing  is  to  be  atteinpte4  only  between  the  liours  (rf  10^

from  lat  17"  2b'  lo  1 T  .53'  N.  There  are  four  «»f  them,  called  north-east  key, 
or  Eastern  key;  Sand  key  ;  Bird  key  ;  and  South  west  key,  o.  We.t  key  ;  they 
have  all  stinll  bushes  on  them,  and  there  are  some  cocoa  trees  lately  planed  on 
Bird  key,  by  which  they  may  be  descried  at  a  greater  distance.  The  North- 
east key  isbearii)''  from  Point  Morant,  or  at  tbe  east  point  of  Jamaica  S.  S.  E. 
distance  1 1  leagues  ;  it  stretches  S  i  li.  and  N.i  W.  being  in  length  2950  feet; 
from  its  S.  end  lo  the  S.  W.  key,  the  bearing  is  S.  S.  W.  and  from  the  V\  est  key 
8.  W.  I  S.  From  the  north  end  of  the  Eastern  key  to  the  southern,  the  bearing

When  Morant  kevs  are  bearing  S.  W.  about  4  miles,  you  have  about  18  ta- 
thorns  water,  stony  ground,  mixed  with  fine  red  speckled  gravel.  ^^  '"""  ""J^y 
hear  S.  W.  by  S.  about  t  miles,  you  have  ItJ  fathoms;  and  when  S.  b.  W.  A  W. 
t)  miles  distance,  you  have  23  fathoms,  groun«l  as  above. 

To  know  when  you  are  to  the  eastward  of  the  keys,  coming  from  the  soutU- 
ward,  note,  that  Morant  point,  or  the  East  end  of  Jamaica,  and  the  North-east 
end  of  the  same,  bear  from  each  other  N.  W.  by  N.  and  8.  E.  by  9.  So  that  when 
the  North-east  end,  which  is  high  and  bluflf,  is  to  be  seen  on  those  bearuigs,  or 
lo  the  westward  of  them  you  are  to  the  eastward  of  all. 

Also  coming  from  the  soutliward.  and  keeping  the  Yallah's  bill  to  vhe  nortli- 
ward  of  the  above  be  tringa.  or  Carrion  Crow  hill  to  the  northward  likewise, 
you  are  to  the  westward  of  the  keys. 

To  anchor,  coming  from  the  eastward,  borrow  no  nearer  the  reel  than  b  la- 
thoms.  This  reef  runs  down  by  the  N.  side  of  the  Eastern  key,  and  may  geiie- 
rally  be  seen;  steer  <lown  to  the  westward  by  it,  until  yfi  bring  the  West  key 
to  bear  S.  S.  E.  or  S.  E.  by  S.  then  Inul  in  for  it,  and  you  may  anchor  m  what 
water  you  chuse,  from  12  to  11,  9,  8,  and  7  fathoms,  white  sandy  ground,  and 
at  what  distance  you  will  from  the  key;  or  you  must  bring  the  key  S.  or  to.  by 
W  then  you  come  by  your  lead  on  good  sandy  ground,  as  nigh  as  you  will  in 
18,  ItJ,  15,  12.  10,  8,  7,  8,  aud  5  fathoms  water,  taking  care  that  you  may  be 
able  to  sail  iu  all  kinds  of  winds ;  you  may  go  higher  uuder  the  reef  to  an  anchor, 
but  danger  may  ensue.  , 

Take  always  great  care  that  in  night  time  you  do  not  come  too  near  inese 
&eyi  for  fear  of  being  drove  on  shore  by  the  current.  ^ 

In  turning  between  Morant  keys  ami  the  east  end  of  Jamaica,  there  is  gowl 
3  le.tgues  turning  ground  ;  and  as  it  happens  but  seldom  that  you  do  not  descry 
some  of  the  land  before  niglit,  you  must  govern  yourself  by  its  bearings,  to  act 
properly  in  turning  or  sailing  for  the  night.  .  «  u     c    i  ft

About  10  or  11  leagues  from  Mormt  Point,  between  N.  and  N.  N.  E.  lies 
the  shoal,  called  the  Fonpigas,  or  PJsmires.  This  is  a  large  shoal,  stretching

feet  water  on  it,  where  part  of  the  Augusta's  false  keel  was  struck  olF;  other- 
wise the  shore  is  bold,  with  good  room  to  work  in  it,  except  off  the  south  shore, 
at  the  mouth  of  Augusta  river,  wliere  begins  a  bank  of  sand  and  mud,  by  aH 
means  to  be  avoided.  To  anchor,  you  may  bring  Augusta's  river's  mcuth  to 
bear  S.  W.  j  W.  and  the  battery  point  S.  B.  E.  then  you  will  have  6  fatlionii^ 

Abiiut  6  leaj^ues  to  the  eastward  of  Cumberland  harbour,  is  the  mouth  of  a  lit-

to  Escondidp.  or  the  hidden  port;  and  has  no  more  than  12  feet  upon  the  bar, 
its  opening  being  small,  and  thc-west  point  running  out  very  parrow,  it  is  some- 
times, very  difficult  to  find  out  that  river.  The  deepest  water  is  close  by  the

From  Morant  Point,  or  the  East  End  of  Jamaica,  to  M^  Navaza, 
Cape  Tiburon,  and  Cape  Donna  Maria,  on  HispanioUu 

FROM  the  East  end  of  Jamaica,  to  Navaza  island,  the  coui-se  is  E.  N.  E.  i 
E.  about  21  leagues.  Bivt  in  sailinj?  (rom  the  Navaza  to  the  E.  end,  it  is  best 
not  to  attempt  to  steer  to  the  westward  of  S.  W.  by  VV.  for  the  followinj;  rear 
sons:  Isl.  j|  jou  have  a  weather  current,  it  would  naturally  throw  yon  to  the 
imrihward  of  the  East  end  :  2d.  If  a  lee  one  it  woultl  set  jou  between  Morant 
Keys  and  the  E.  end,  "nd  you  should  likewise  see  the  land  before  you  h.id  got 
the  distance. 

The  Navaza,  a  i^mall  island,  not  very  higli,  and  having  notiiiug  upon  it,  is 
sleep  all  round,  an<l  lies  in  lat.  IS"  18'  N. 

It  has  been  observed  that  the  current  generally  set^  to  the. eastward  or  north- 
eastward, between  the  E.  end  of  Jamaica,  in  the  track  of  Navaza,  and  the  W. 
end  of  Hispaidola;  and  to  the  northward  or  southward  of  this  track  the  current 
has  not  been  perceived.  As  you  approach  Nayaza,  you  will  frequently  meet 
Tvith  li}jht  unsteady  winds,  and  a  weather  current. 

From  the  Navaza  to  Cape  Tiburon,  the  course  is  E.  southerly  above  elevci) 
leagues.  This  cipe  appears  on  the  top  with  many  white  places,  like  ways  or 
roids,  and  is  the  highest  on  the  \V.  coagl  of  Hispaniola;  it  makes  the  N.  side 
of  a  small  b:»v,  called  from  it  *  Tiburo:i  bay,  the  opening  of  which  from  side  to 
side  is  but  1  '^  mile  over.  Running  m  iili  the  s^ea  breeze  you  must  give  the 
S.  or  lower  point  a  birth  of  half  a  niiJe;  and  when  you  have  opened  the  bay,  so 
ns  to  sec  the  houses,  push  riglit  in  N.  E.  It  shoals  gradually  from  15  fathom? 
to  7  or  B,  wl.vre  you  auclior  in  good  ground;  tho  cape  bearing  W.  Jf.  W.  2 
or  3  miles,  and  the  S.  point  S.  S.  E.  or  you  may  bring  the  S.  point  tp  bear  S.  E. 
by  S.  distant  half  a  mde,  and  then  you  will  be  right  against  the  river  or  water- 
ing place. 

All  nifrht  you  have  a  freeli  land  breeze  at  IS".  E.  and  all  day  fresh  sea  breez<^ 
at  S.  E.  by  K.  If  you  moor,  lay  your  best  anchor  to  the  S.  W.  and  the  small 
one  to  the  N.  E.  Here  you  can  find  good  fresh  water  and  plenty  of  good  limes } 
but  the  inhabitants  of  a  dozen  houses,  near  shore,  will  not  sufler  you  to  cut  any 


»  Tihurnii  bay  isnbout  half  a  mile  deep  to  thn  enHwRnl.  On  the  .north  shore  it  is  deep 
to  within  two  or  three  cablcN  length  of  the  rocks,  and  within  lialia  cable's  length  you  have 
6  and  7  fathoms,  slift'clayish  ground.  On  the  K.  and  S.  E.  shores,  you  have  4  and  i|  fa- 
thoms, fine  muddy  ground,  witliHi  a  cableV  length,  all  round  the  shore.  No  shoals  or  rocks 
all  over  the  bay  as  wo,  conld  find.  The  edge  of  the  soundings  runs  as  tlie  bay  forms,  half  ^ 
mile  from  its  head.  You  may  anchor  any  where  in  the  bay  :  but  bring  the  point  to  the 
eastward,  to  bear  H.  by  E.  and  the  cape  to  bear  W.  by  N.  J^  N.  in  4  or  5  fathoms  ;  from  that 
to  8  or  9  is  very  good  ground  ;  wooding  and  watering  in  great  plenty.  You  may  either 
land  your  casks  and  roll  them  over  a  narrow  neck  of  land  into  the  river,  or  fill  them  in  your 
iioats  with  bucket".  ISo  refreshments  of  the  meat  kind,  but  some  vegetables  and  fruits,  an 
limes,  &c.  There  is  a  small  battery  of  5  guns,  mounted  on  a  hill  above  the  houses  on  th« 
bay,  to  command  the  watering  place,  which  would  annoy  small  vessels.  No  ibippiq^  ^T9-'t

Key  Bokel,  or  farther  in  at  Water  key  as  (he  time  will  allow.  The  Soiithern

The  Southern  four  keys  in  lat.  17*  1.''  N.  The  easternmost  on  the  edge  of 
the  reef,  is  pretty  round  and  high,  with  a  large  spndy  bay  on  the  east  side;  the 
westernmost  is n  long  key  with  tall  trees;  the  northernmost  is  the  next  smallest; 
when  you  come  from  the  eastward,  an  opening  shews  itself  in  the  middle;  the 
Eouihernmost  key,  which  they  call  Hat  key,  is  the  smallest,  with  bushes  on  it, 
and  is  near  the  south  point  of  the  reef;  from  this  to  the  easternmost  key,  the  reef 
runs  in  the  form  of  a  half  moon.  When  you  make  the  sandy  bay,  on  the  last,  or

General  and  particular  directions  for  ?on  Omoa.     >'  ■ 

IF  from  Black  river,  on  tiie  Moskito  >hore.  you  are  bound  to  Port  Omoa.  ov 
Ban  Fernando  de  Omoa,  as  it  is  called  by  the  bp^niards,  you  must  sail  to  the 
soulhwaril  of  the  isles  Bonaca  and  UaUan,  passin-  between  Jlattan  and  ll;e

pass  southward  of  the  Hog's  iglaiuls,  ou  account  of  ihe  Salmedina  veets.  _ 

You  steer  from  Black  river  for  Bonaca  W.  N.  W.  till  you  come  to  this  island, 
uhich  is  23  leasues  distant  from  it.  Then  yoti  steer  W.  S.  VV.  in  ordrr  to  pass

aiidy  point,  running  off 


towards  the  sea,  full  of  hi^h  mangrove  trees;  and  liaving  a  look-out  house,  which 
is  very  discernabU.  Tliis  makes  the  bay  of  Omoa  very  safe  iu  a  north,  and 
equally  secure  in  all  wjikIs.  You  may  tOne  as  nijjh  the  windward  point  as 
you  please;  «|uile  clote  to  it  the  e  aie  ti  fathoms,  and  about  a  cable  s  lenj;th 
from  It,  17,  l(j,  15,  14,  12.  fl,  8,  7,  (i.  3,  4?,  and  ^  fathoms  water:  this  depth 
runs  from  tiic  point  as  far  as  tlie  river;  you  will  have  from  17  to  12  fathoms, 
when  you  come  to  sail  in,  and  you  liK)f  as  near  as  you  can  to  the  point.  If  you 
cannot  lie  in  the  bay,  it  is  best  to  come  to  an  anchor  iu  12  fathoms,  and  warpcp 
iu  tlie  bay,  and  moor  the  ship.  You  must  not  come  too  near  on  the  side  of  tiie 
river,  nor  wlu  re  the  houses  of  the  town  stand,  but  you  may  go  as  nif;ii  as  yoti 
please  to  windward.     You  will  have  twelve  fathoms  water  near  the  wharf  at  tiie 

The  river  lies  to  the  westward  of  tlie  town,  and  lias  the  following;  depths ;  rrom 
t2  to  9,  8,  7,  0,  5,  4i-.  3,  and  2?  fathoms  water;  about  a  cable's  iengih  from  off 
its  muuth,  you  will  have  7  iathoms,  anil  so  on  to  2i.  When  you  are  at  anchor 
tfl  Omoa,  if  the  weather  be  char,  you  may  see  Cape  Tres  Puntas  about  W.  by 
N.  or  W.  N.  W.  •  The  land  to  the  westward  of  Omoa  is  very  high,  and  re- 
markable by  3  or  4  peaks  or  sugar  loaves  considerably  higher  than  tiie  rest. 

Directions  from  Port  Omoa  to  Golfo  Dulcc,  at  the  S,  IF.  end 
oj  the  Bay  oi  Honduras. 

THE  course  is  westerly  to  Point  San  Francisco  or  Buenavista,  about  6  miles 
from  Omoa  and  which  is  very  low.  Then  it  is  W.  N.  VV.  to  Cape  Tres  Pun- 
tas, 8 or 9  leagues  from  Point  St.  Francisco;  between  tlie  two  points,  keepiug 
about  4  m  les  from  the  main  shore,  you  may  come  to  anchor  in  20  or  15  futhoms, 
and  Ies8  water,  muddy  ground  ;  near  the  latter  point  there  is  a  sandy  bar,  iiin- 
uing  a  league  iulo  the  sea,  before  the  mouth  of  a  lnrge  river,  which  bar  you  must 
be  sure  to  avoid.  When  you  have  sailed  about  13  or  14  leagues  then  you  may 
haul  W.  by  N.  leaving  Ca()e  Tres  Puntas  on  your  larboard  side,  alnuit  one  anil 
an  half  league  olT;  aud  having  passed  that  eape,  you  o[)en  Uolfo  Dulce,  and 
steer  for  it  S.  by  VV. 

The  S.  W.  bottom  of  the  Bay  of  Hondurs.j,  juto  whicli  you  enter  after  hav- 
fug  doublcu  Cape  Tica  ruittas,  is  generally  kuowu  by  the  name  of  Gulf  of  Amn- 
lique;  aud  Golfo  Dulce,  that  is,  the  mouth  of  the  river,  called  also  Gualimala 
I.-'igoon,  lies  8  or  9  leagues  from  Ctpe  Tres  Puntas,  you  must  go  by  ycuir  lead, 
and  will  have  from  9  to  ^\  or  3  fathoms.  The  moulli  of  the  river  shews  iis( It 
very  plain  ;  you  bring  it  to  bear  S.  S.  W.  aud  anchor  iu  what  water  ymi  please, 
mooring  the  ship  S.  E.  and  N.  VV. 

Five  or  six  leagues  N.  E.  by  E.  of  Golfo  Dulce,  and  within  the  land,  is  the 
Oolfeto,  or  Little  Gulf,  called  formerly  Pirats  Lagoon,  and  Lake  St.  Thomas ; 
it  is  3  or  4  leagues  broad,  and  as  many  deep,  the  land  round  it  being  very  low 
near  the  sea,  with  large  manganeel  bushes,  but  Tery  high  within  the  country. 
The  Little  Gulfiskrxown  by  a  remarkable  table  moHntaiu  to  the  southward  of  it. 

Directions  for  sailing; from  Black  River,  on  the  Moskito  Shore, 
to  the  Bay  of  Hoaduras,  through  the  entrance  of  tlie  Main 
ree/'fl^fAeZapodilla  Keys,  -  # 

FROM  Black  river  to  Booaca,  the  course  is  W.  N.  VV.  22  leagues.  From 
the  west  end  of  Bonaca,  to  the  east  end  of  Rattan  or  Barburatta  island,  it  is  W. 
S.  W.  5  leagues.  The  harbour  is  about  one  third  down  the  island  on  the  S.  E- 
side ;  it  is  a  very  narrow  entrance ;  in  going  in  you  have  6  and  7  fathoms,  and

From  the  west  end  of  Rattan  to  the  entrance  tiironvh  the  n  ef  by  the  Zapo- 
dilla  keys,  the  course  is  W  .  29  or  30  leagues.  From  the  W.  end  of  Rattan  to 
Utila  it  is  S.  W.  6  leagues.  From  Uiila  to  Triumpho  de  la  Crnz  It  is  S.  by 
W.  i  W.  12  leagues.  From  Triumpho  de  la  Cruz  to  Point  Cavallo  it  is  !?.  by

You  may  know  the  Zapodilla  keys  by  the  five  di-y  sandy  kr  y  s  among  them, 
which  are  without  shrubi*  or  trees,  except  that  on  the  start)oa  'd  side,  on  going 
in,  on  which  there  are  two  dry  trres  which  appear  like  a  schooner  at  anchor, 
when  you  (irst  make  them.  All  the  keys  to  leeward  are  busliy,  and  full  of  Za- 
podilla trees.  In  the  passage  through  there  is  -i^  fathoms,  and  there  you  have 
but  two  casts  before  you  deepen  your  water  to  tJ,  7,  10,  and  1 7  fathoms.  This 
makes  it  the  best  passage  fur  large  ships:  the  course  through  i!?  W.  and  \V.  by 
N.  when  you  are  over  the  reef,  it  is  termed  the  harbour  of  the  Honduras. 

From  the  Za|!odilla  keys  you  steer  W.  \.  W.  between  4  and  5  leagues,  to 
avoid  several  ugly  shoals  and  rocks  which  lie  to  the  northward  «>f  the  passage 
through  ihe  keys  t  and  when  you  bring  Point  Placentia  to  l)ear  N.  by  \V.  or  K.

Middle  gromitls. 

Observe,  that  after  you  have  got  through  the  Zapodilla  keys,  and  up  as  hi^h 
as  Point  Placcntia,  you  may  anchor  ail  along  the  main,  in  any  depth  of  water 
from  5  to  17  fathoms,  keeping  at  the  distance  of  2  m'lcs  from  the  shore,  except  at 
Colson's  point,  where  there  is  a  bank  or  shoal  due  E.  from  the  point,  which  has

but  distinguished  by  a  saddl(!  niouiiiain  a  Utile  to  the  westward.  Tlie  Little 
rocks  are  1  league  distant  W.  by  S.  from  Z:i(liaiy  Lion's  creek;  the  land  over 
them  is  double  not  very  liigh.sn'd  the  soullieiiniiost  appearing  above  the  other.

very  foul  gioiiiid,  mixed  with  sand  aod  slonc s,  wliicb  you  i>ay  avoid.  The  blulF 
point  of  liie  Great  rocks  to  tli«  eastwar<I,  and  Old  Ildiiiau  point,  make  Limc- 
linuse  bight.  Between  the  Little  and  Grcst  rocks,  there  are  two  rivers,  ihc 
nighesl  to  the  Great  locks  being  called  Great  Piaw,  and  the  otiiei'  Littjc  Piaw 
ri\er. 

Liinelioufe  river  Is  3  miles  distant  S.  W.by  W.  from  the  Great  rocks;  it  i? 
Ivnown  by  a  saddle  mountain,  with  a  sugar  loaf  on  one  hide,  and  by  another  su- 
gar loaf  00  the  other  side,  whose  top  appears  t(i  be  brekeu  off. 

New  Roman  river  lies  2-1  Icagvas  farther  W.  N  VV.  near  its  mouth,  which  is 
very  wide,  and  always  open,  are  2  or  .3  black  sand  hills;  Old,  or  Great  Ro- 
man river,  whose  opening  is  also  very  wide,  is  4  miles  \V.  N.  W.  liom  tliis. 
Iktween  the  two  rivers  you  meet  with  a  bank  of  stones  and  sand,  2  miles  from 
the  shore,  and  about  3  miles  long;  it  lies  nearly  east  and  west;  to  get  clear  of 
I  his  bank,  you  steer  from  Nejv  lioman  out  of  the  Bight  W.  N.  W.  and  pass  to 
the  northward,' uiilil  you  corae  to  Three  leagues  point,  then  you  steer  right  for 
<7ape  Honduras.  The  point  is  easily  known  by  a  round  saud  hill,  covered  with 
many  palmetto  trees,  of  an  inferior  size. 

Cape  Honduras,  or  Point  Cas'.illa,  lies  about  6  leagues  VV.  by  N.  from  old  . 
Uoraan  river;  and  10  leagues  to  the  W.  of  this  cape,  you  meet  with  the  Hogs 
islands,  which  are  two  high  islands  southward  of  llattan.  with  IK  small  sandy 
keys,  niiicii  extend  from  the  S.  J!,  of  tlie  easternmost  island,  to  tiie  western- 
mpst  one,  on  the  southivard  side  of  both  ;  to  the  N.  W.  of  the  westernmost  isle 
there  are  3  or  4  of  these  sandy  keys,  which  afford  no  passage,  hut  you  may 
pass  between  the  others.  A  rocky  reef  stretches  along  to  the  southward  of 
these  twoishuds,  2  niHes  distant  from  the  shore,  and  rumiing  from  E.  S.  E,  to 
X.  W..  You  must  not  come  nearer  on  any  side  of  the  westernmost  island  thai» 
one  league;  but  you  may  approach  the  catitenmiost  as  near  as  a  mile,  and  at  its 
W.  end  you  come  to  «nch«r  iu  small  vessels  with  a  gea  breeze,  but  it  is  very  bad 
with  n  north.  Ou  the  N.  side  of  tliis  isUnd  is  the  best  channel  to  anchtr  at 
the  west  end ;  you  may  sail  ou  boldly,  and  keeping  a  good  look  out  for  a  few 
rocks,  under  water,  which  arc  close  lo  the  sliore,  you  come  in  a  bay  16  an  anchor,

<'UlllII    III* 

To  the  S.  W.  of  this  island  lies  the  island  Rattan,  in  lat.  10°  25'  >*.— W  S. 
W.  IS.  U8  leagues  from  the  west  end  of  Jamaica,  and  N.  N.  W.  1 1  leagues 
from  Trux'llo  bay  on  the  continent.  Townrds  the  se:',  on  both  sides,  it  is  moun- 
tainous and  woody  ;  on  the  south  side  are  barb,  urs  from  one  end  to  the  other, 
and  in  the  dry  season,  some  of  iht  in  without  fre^h  w  atr  r.  The  most  n  niarkable 
is  New  Port  Royal ;  it  is  a  very  fine  harbour,  the  sea  breeze  meeting  no  ob- 
struction, blows  quite  through,  and  renders 'he  place  extM  mely  healthy  :  the  air 
is  there  cooler  and  more  temperate  than  in  most  pnrls  of  the  West  Indices. 

In  sailing  from  Rattan  for  the  Bay  of  Honduras,  ycu  are  to  time  your  de- 
parture in  the  close  of  the  evening,  and  not  before  ;  then  you  will  steer  N.  W. 
or  N.  W.  a  little  nortlu  rly,  which  will  run  you  in  with  the  SoHtherii  four  kc  ys, 
distance  about  20  or  22  leagues;  therefore  you  must  be  particularly  attentive  to 
bail  your  vessel  with  such  canvas,  as  to  the  weather  you  may  have,  or  the  way 
she  may  make  through  the  water,  takJnat  also  great  care  to  keep  a  very  good 
look  out ;  never  attempt  to  run  above  1 6  leagues  by  the  loj:,  as  the  currents  are 
very  swift  and  uncertain,  which  has  proved  very  fatal  to  many  ships. 

As  soon  as  day  light  appears,  then  make  what  sail  you  can,  still  steering  the 
uaiiie course,  and  you  will  soon  rise  the  Southern  four  keys  •.  run  will  in  for  them

Description  of  Forto  Bello  Harbour. 

At  the  ciitianc^  of  the  harbour  tliere  are  two  small  islands,  which  lie  S.  by 
K.  I  E.  and  N.  by  VV.  ^  W.  from  each  other:  between  them  you  sail,  or  wnrpiii, 
and  have  1 5  or  1 0  falhoins  across,  ail  soft  gvotmd.  Due  west  from  the  northern- 
jncK-t  island,  and  about  ;J  cables  length  from  it,  lies  a  bunch  of  rocks,  called  The 
Cu!nie«Hnas;  you  have  20  fathsMus,  soft  ground,  between  these  rocks  and  the  is- 
land. You  may  go  iiv  and  out-  on  either  side  of  them,  they  being  sleep  to  alt 
round,  and  alwa}  s  shewiii";  tin  inselves. 

The  north  side:  of  the  harboiu-  i"?  steep  to;  on  the  south  skle  there  is  a  reef 
along  it,  about  a  cable's  lengih  from  the  shore. 

You  iniy  anchor  any  where,  takhtg  care  not  to  go  too  high  up  in  the  cod  of 
the  bay. 

Wood  and  water  are  in  great  plenty  here  ;  you  may  either  land  your  casks 
and  roll  them  about  U)  or  12  yards,  or  fill  your  bv)at  with  small  casks.  Cattle 
may  be  purchased,  though  not  cheap  nor  good  ?  vegetables  there  are  none  to  be 
procured,  but  you  have  plenty  offish  atKlturllWin  the  season. 

To  the  noitliward  and  southward  of  this  harbour  there  are  very  good  bays, 
•with  many  fresh  water  rivulets,  where  any  fleet  may  ride  and  fill  in  safety;  there 
is  no  darvger  but  v\\;\i  i-;  discCrnable.

The  distance  from  Jamaica  is  I  !.'»  le»f;ues  ou  a  S.  S.  K.  courfc.  You  meet  al- 
ways with  a  westerly  current  in  crossii;{;  over,  and  comiiifi;  near  the  river  you 
have  white  water  30  leagues  oil*.  The  jiigh  land  of  .St.  Martha  is  the  highost

Coming  in  witti  liie  co.tst  in  the  nij:ht,  approach  it  no  nearer  than  22  fathoms. 
The  coui-se  from  I'oint  Occa  to  Morro  lleimoso  is  VV.  by  S.  10  leagues;  from 
that  to  Point  Arenas  S.  NV.  and  S.  W.  by  \V.  15  leaj;ucs,  and  tlieu  to  Cartha 
jttna  S.  W.  by  S.  and  S.  W.  13  leagues;  the  land  between  Morro  llermosoaiid 
Arenas  bay,  is  li><;h  hills,  the  most  remarkable  of  which  are  ^amba  hill,  that 
appears  like  mnidcn's  paps,  and  another  next  to  Arehas,  called  Oalera  dc  Sam- 
ba, that  ehewB  like  a  barn.  Arenas  point  is  all  low,  except  the  volcano,  which 
appears  flat  ftod  round 

The  danger  pwng  into  Arenas  bay,  is  a  reef  at  the  N.  F..  part;  give  it  a  good 
birth  of  2  or  3  miles,  ami  seer  S.  .S.  \V.  ami  S.  W.  by  S.  in  7  or  8  fathoms  wa- 
tPT.  The  next  shoal  it  the  1  fallioms  bank,  which  bears  VV.  N.  W.  about  three 
miles;  steer  S.  by  W.  and  south  round  Point  Arenas'  in  G  or  7  fathoms,  keeping 
at  half  a  mile  or  one  mile  distance,  theu  steer  up  S.  E.  and  E.  S.  E.  and  you 
may  anchor  in  what  depth  of  water  you  please,  from  3  to  20  fathoms,  good 
holding  ground. 

The  bay  is  about  C  or  7  leagues  deep,  and  5  broad,  with  m«ny  lagoons  where 
small  shi|)s  may  lie  in  2  or  3  fathoms  water;  large  ships  lie  in  8  or  10  fathoms. 
There  are  two  small  keys  above  water,  in  this  bay,  one  bearing  S.  E,  from 
Are;)as  point,  the  other  about  S.  by  E.  There  is  a  bank  which  lies  about  N. 
N.  E.  2  leasues  from  Point  Palmerita,  with  only  9  feet  water  on  it.  This  bay 
lies  about  N.  E.  by  K.  and  S.  VV.  by  VV.  no  winds  except  N.  W.  can  hurt  you 
here,  and  they  blow  very  hard.  Sometimes  N.  E.  winds  blow  herd  the  most 
part  of  the  year.  Poin>  Arenas  and  Point  Palmerita  make  tiie  bay ;  they  bear 
from  each  other  about  N.  by  E.  and  S.  by  W. 

Sailing  out  of  this  bay,  bojind  to  Carthagena,  steer  to  the  W.  N,  W.  to  get  2  or 
3  leagues  off,  then  steer  S.  S.  V\^.     But  if  you  are  bound  to  the  eastward,  or  to 
Jamaica,  you  must  Avork  up  as  far  as  the  river  Magduleii  or  Point  Occa,  to  be  . 
sure  of  fetching  near  the  E.  end  of  Jamaica.     The  current  sets  in  the  oflTiup

From  Cape  Blanco  to  Cape  St.  Roman,  Cata  Bay,  Puerto  Ca-

The  land  is  still  very  high  and  mountainous,  the  westward  of  Cape  Blanco, 
for  about  10  or  12  leagues,  when  it  begins  to  become  lower;  the  coast  all  along 
is  bold  aud  clear ;  you  may  stand  within  a  mile  of  the  shore,  all  the  way  down 
from  Lh  Guayra  to  Puerto  Cabello,  about  10  or  12  leagues  to  leeward  of  Cape 
Blanco,  and  about  6  to  wriudward  of  Puerto  Cabello,  you  meet  with  a  very 
fine  hay,  or  rather  harbour,  oidled  Cata  Bay  ;  there  is  not  less  than  10  fathoms 
in  going  in,  and  when  you  arc  entered,  you  may  anchor  in  what  water  yoH 
please,  from  5  to  20  fathoms  being  landlocked  from  all  winds,  but  from  N.  , 
N.  W.  to  N.  N.  E.  which  winds  seldom  blow  here;  you  have  a  regular  sea 
breeze  all  day,  and  a  fine  land  breeze  all  night,  with  plenty  of  wood  and  fresb 
water.  There  is  a  tow  d  4  or  5  miles  from  this  bay,  aud  many  planters  aud 
other  people  live  in  the  neighbourhood,  who  have  abandajice  of  cocoa,  and 
money  likewise.  This  bay,  which  lies  from  Curassoa  S.  E.  by  E.  by  compass 
(there  is  half  a  point  of  variation  here)  is  seldom  without  one  or  more  Dutch 
vessels  trading  for  cocoa;  the  land  is  very  high,  on  both  sides  the  bay,  with  a

From  Cape  Codera  to  Cape  Blanco — Jasper  Bay. 

IF  you  come  ei-  tVoni  Cape  fodera,  and  are  bcunl  to  the  westward,  you 
may  stroke  the  lai  e  m  close  en  bnard  as  you  please,  as  it  is  steep  to  ;  there  is  a 
small  sandy  buy  in  the  west  side  ol'  the  cape,  and  close  to  it,  wherein  yon 
may  anchor  in  «!i,'  depth  jou  find  convenient;  this  bay  has  nothing  remark- 
.ibie.  Tlie  anclioii'ij',  is  Kood,  as  we  liave  already  observed,  but  no  fresh 
water. 

When  you  cook  round  Cape  Codera,  if  it  is  daytime,  you  will  seethe 
White  rock,  which  bears  from  the  cape  N.  by  W.  distant  6  miles,  and  from 
Chuspa  bay  N  K.  by  K.  8  or  (1  miles.  It  i>  about  as  lar;:e  as  the  hull  of  a 
first  rate,  and  almost  as  white  as  Beach  head;  you  have  all  clean  jirouiid 
about  it,  but  on  the  west  cml  there  is  a  small  ledge  of  a  cjiiarter  of  a  mile  from 
the  rock. 

llavin"  ronn.led  Cape  Codera  you  w  ill  sec  a  low  point  to  tlie  sojith-wcft 
ward,  about  7  miles;  il  is  the  first  you  come  to;  you  m^iy  run  down  toil  witliin 
tialf  a  mile  of  the  shore  ;  then  a  fine  sandy  bay  opens  to  the  westward,  into 
which  you  ni;iy  haul  round  tbe  point,  and  s;ivinj:  it  a  birtli  of  a  quMter  of  a 
mile.  'Phis  bay  is  called  by  the  Spaniards  Chnsba  bay,  but  the  F.nglish  have 
named  it  Jusper  bay  ;  you  may  anchor  tliere  within  le^s  than  half  a  mile  of  the- 
thore.  in  7  fathoms  water. 

When  you  have  run  into  7  fathoms  water,  yon  will  bring  the  E.  part  of  tlir 
hay,  tliat  is  the  point  r<  iind  which  you  came,  to  bear  N.  E.  and  in  the  S.  V.. 
corner  of  tin;  bay  you  will  j:et  fine  fresh  water,  and  good  wool.  There  is  al- 
ways a  little  Fwcll  in  the  Itay  ;  when  you  will  anehor  you  will  perceive  a  siinll 
point  about  a  itiilc  to  the  westward  of  yon,  and  close  round  that  poin"  there  is  a 
small  town ;  but  the  landing  liere  is  very  bad,  on  account  of  the  jrrcal  surf  on 
the  beach.  The  land  to  the  westward  trends  to  the  VV.  by  S.  a'ld  is  v(  ry  hijstli, 
both  inland  and  near  the  coast ;  very  little  is  to  be  had  here  but  wood  and 
water. 

From  .Taspcr  bay  to  Cape  Blanco,  the  course  is  W  by  S.  13  leagues,  and 
to  La  Guayra  W.by  S.  10  leagues.  Li  Guayra  is  in  a  smill  bay,  alout  .3  or 
4  leagues  to  llie  windward,  or  to  the  ensiward  of  Cape  Blanco.  There  is  a 
prodigioiis  high  mountain  .ihack  of  La  Guayra.  which  is  almost  as  high  as  that 
ttf  Tenerifle :  it  is  called  the  mountain  of  Caraecas.  Cape  Blanco  is  low  land, 
so  tijat  when  you  are  4  leagues  off  you  cannot  possibly  see  it  on  account  of  that 
mountain.  Being  off  Cape  Blanco!  within  a  league  or  two  of  tbe  land,  you  may 
see  the  fort,  batteries,  aed  town  of  La  Guyra,  Avliich  appear  of  a  whitish  grey, 
while  the  soil  about  the  town  looks  red.  When  you  are  within  4  or  5  miles 
from  Cape  Blanco,  il  looks  like  a  town  under  the  high  land,  and  has^  a  s'e\  and 
Bagged  appearance  ;  the  shoie  if.  clear  and  bold  all  along.  Cape  Blanco  lies 
in  lat.  10"  50' and  Cape  Codera  in  lat.  10"  30',

Margaiita  Island  /oCapc  St.  iCoinan, 

THE  ISLAND  OE  MAllGARITA— THE  ISLAND  OF  TORTUOA. 

FROM  Hi.  Vincent  lo  Margarita  the  course  is  S.  W.  distance  4(3  leagues, aii<' 
Irom  Grenada  lo  the  same  islanti,  the  courc  is  S.  W.  by  Vy.  distant  20  leagues. 

Tlu'  island  of  Margarita  is  24  leagues  long,  and  lies  E.  by  N.  and  VV.  by  S.  ' 
it  is  high  land  all  through,  except  the  W.  part,  on,  which  is  a  low  sandy  point, 
/uiiuiiig  offshoal  to  the  Pearl  bank,  which  is  joined  to  il.  Four  or  five  miles  in 
land  from  this  W.  end  there  is  a  very  high  part  of  land,  w  ith  the  appearance  of 
a  sugar  loaf  on  the  lop  of  it,  which  sugar  loaf  sf  ems  as  if  it  was  falling  down  to 
(he  northward.  Bring  that  hia;h  land  lo  bear  E  by  N.  and  if  you  are  bound  to 
lortuga,  steer  W.  S.  \V.  which  course  will  carry  youlo  that  island. 

The  Tortuga  or  Salt  Tprtuga,  is  a  vciy  low  island,  which  cannot  be  seen 
ibove  4  or  5  leagues  oil";  keep  on  the  S.  side  of  it,  and  anchor  about  half  a  mile, 
or  three  quarters  of  a  mile  to  the  weslwar  1  of  a  low  point  on  the  S.  E.  part  ol 
the  island;  bring  the  low  S.  E.  point  tolftar  E.  N.  E.  and  you  will  have  18 
or  20  fathonis  water ;  and  if  you  moor,  your  westernmost  anchor  will  lie  it) 
about  30  fathoms,  good  groun<l ;  but  do  not  go  any  nearer  in,  for  the  ground  is 
very  bad,  on  account  of  the  merchant  ships  who  load  gait  here,  heaving  their 
ballast  out.     You  arc  to  moor  W.  N.  "NV.  and  E.  S.  E. 

During  nil  the  fore  part  of  tbe  day  the  wiud  is  at  E.  or  to  the  southward  o!

Description  of  the  Islands  of  IJoiiair  and  Curasfsoa. 

I  b' you  come  from  the  main,  and  are  Ijonnd  to  Ciirns^oa,  i  would  advise  you 
to  endeavour  lo  make  the  i>laiid  of  Jioniiir.  anil  then  to  run  down  lo  Curasson; 
but  be  sure  not  to  come  witliin  I  or  %  miks  of  tlie  south  side  of  Ihc  island,  by 
reason  of  the  rocks  and  i'oul  'j;«ouiid,  ur.Jers  you  are  ncquainled.  J'lierc  i:*  n 
road  on  the  west  sid;'  <if  the  Ldarid,  which  lies  widiiii  a  small  islot,  but  it  is  a 
fillli;  diOkull  for  stranscvs.  Uonair  lias  a  governor:  some  few  peopls  from  Cm- 
-aBsoa  live  thejie,  and  a  gniat  many  Indians;  tlure  iu  likjewise  several  ware- 
houses, where  the  Ciirassoa  sI(K>|>s  load  tlic  cocoa,  hide^,  tobacco,  &c.  that  ate 
fetched  from  the  main  :  these  jjoods  are  lodaed  ficio  uii'il  they  have  a  pood  mar- 
ket for  them  at  Curnssoa.  Tlir,  islind  of  Bonair  yields  iiolhinsr  but  wood  and 
£all,  and  has  no  fresh  water;  the  west  part  is  pretty  liiph,  and  very  rugjred 
uneven  land.  From  live  west  end  of  it  you  may  see  the  island  of  Curassoa,  iu 
fair  weallier,  wliitli  bears  W.  S.  W.  distant  15  leagin  . 

When  bound  to  Cu^^s■soa  you  are  to  run  down  so  ai.  to  come  nlon^i  the  south 
tide  of  it;  if  in  Ihe  ni^ht,  come  not  nearer  ihc  island  than  3  lea;;ues,  on  account 
of  Little  Curassoa;  it  is  alow  sandy  island,  very  Ijule  above  water,  one  'ourlh 
of  a  mile  in  Iciitjth,  with  iiolliin^  but  prickly  iMishes  on  it,  eo  that  you  cannot 
|)o.-sil)ly  see  it  in  the  nijilit ;  it  lies  S.  E.  fjom  the  east  point  of  Curassoa,  distant 
'J  lea^^iics,  and  is  steep  to  on  every  side. 

C'urassoa  is  a  low  island;  the  east  side  having  no  idjili  land,  except  a  moiin- 
tain  in  the  \,  K.  part,  and  another  oC  <;reat  iieiglii,  which  makes  like  a  table 
land  in  the  S.  E.  part ;  on  the  west  side  there  are  some  lii<;h  hills;  hut  all  the 
rest  of  the  '.sland  is  lower  than  Barbadocs.  The  table  land  on  the  S.  E.  part 
bears  VV.  N.  W.  from  Little  Curassoa  distant  7  or  8  miles.  You  must  jive  the 
east  point  of  Ciuasson  a  birth  of  half  a  mile,  and  then  ypu  may  keep  as  nigh  the 
ioland  as  you  please,  for  it  is  steep  to  all  alonp;  the  soiilli  side. 

The  haven  or  harbour,  caUed  also  Amsterdam,  or  Ht.  Aiui,  is  on  the  S.  W. 
part  of  the  island;  there  is  a  white  buoy  on  a  led<;e  that  lies  on  the  starboard,  or 
south  side  of  the  haiinmi-'s  mouth ;  that  buoy  you  aiust  leave  on  your  starboard 
hand  in  {joinw  in,  and  haul  clo?e  round  it  into  the  h.nrboiir,  whose  entrance  is  very 
uariow,  and  steep  to  on  both  sides.  You  must  not  let  ^o  an  anchor  in  ^ow'i  In, 
but  you  are  to  have  a  hasvsrr  in  your  boat,  ready  to  run  tp  the  fouth  shore,  or  to 
aomt-  of  the  ships;  for  ahhoiivh  the  harbours  entrance  is  not  broader  than  the 
length  of  a  70  gun  ship,  yet  there  are  60  fatlioms  water ;  but  If  the  wind  is  larpe 
it  is  better  to  run  up  above  the  tow  ti,  (^nd  above  tiie  shipping,  tlier>  ypu  may  let 
go  your  anchor;  it  is  there  soniethin^roader,  and  clear  of  craft. 

The  town  lies  on  the  south  side,  and  is  called  Amsterdam ;  but  there  are  n 
great  many  buildings  on  the  north  side,  as  well  as  all  over  the  island,  which  is 
populous.  This  is  a  very  good  harbour  to  heave  down  in,  as  there  is  neither  sea 
uor  swell.  All  manner  of  provisions  are  prodioriously  scarce  and  dear  here;  for 
?Ii£  island  itself  produces  very  Hule  of  any  kind  of  necessaries.  Ou  the  N.  W.  aaU

Directioux  for  vessels  hound  to  Trinidad. 

iiV  the  rainy  scasou,  that  commences  rumiuonly  in  the  end  of  June,  orbe<;iu- 
ning  of  July,  a  strong  ciUTent  sets  out  of  tlie  Uocca's  del  Drago,  or  l)raj{on'« 
mouths,  occasioned  by  the  rivers  and  hr.mches  of  the  river  Oronoco,  that  empty 
themselves  iiitp  the  Gulf  of  Paria.  This,  with  a  stronj;  lee  current  and  souther- 
ly widd  that  generally  pf.;vai^i  the  samc!  season,  ocCHsioiiii  many  vessels  to  lull 
very  unexpectedly  to  htwanl,  an  accident  iirelrievable  by  the  fastest  sailin^j 
'  c»8el  particularly  in  U^hl  winds.  It  is  therefore  advisable  for  vessels  bound  ill 
iliat  season  to  Trinidad,  from  the  lluiteit  States,  to  %o  to  windward  of  llarbucloeg, 
uiid  make  Trinidad.  From  thence  nti;er  S.  S.  \V.  or  .->«  Iii^h  as  the  wiml  will 
permit,  to  get  hold  of  the  land  of  Trinidad,  distant  t3  or  7  leac;ucs.  The  course 
along  the  Horth  shore  of  Trinidad,  is  W.  S.  W.  15  leagues  from  the  point  of 
fJHllera,  or  N.  E.  point  of  the  island  to  the  Hocca's. 

If  yoa  have  a  moderate  breeze  you  may  enter  the  second  Bocca's  (beinu  the 
•  ifest,  except  the  Grand  Bncc  a's,  farther  to  the  leeward)  keeping  the  lee  or  west- 
,v»rd  shore  on  board,  by  which  means  you  will  carry  in  the  breeze,  and  leave 
in  eddy  current  when  the  stream  is  running  out  in  the  middle  and  on  the  east 
wsrd.  If  the  «i«d  is  light,  and  the  tide  on  ebb,  we  would  advise  the  Great 
llucca's,  01-  DragiMi'g  mouth,  w  here  you  may  come  to,  iu  good  holding  ground, 
v.ilh  a  light  kedge,  till  the  bree?*  or  current  favours. 

WUicn  you  are  within  the  Bocca's  and  Gulf  I'aria,  a  short  distance,  you  will 
open  St.  David's  tower,  aliove  the  town  of  Port  of  Spain  clear  of  the  south 
part  of  Caspar  Gramle,  about  E.  ,by  N.  distant  4  or  5  leagues.  St.  David's 
tower,  or  citarlel,  id  of  while  stone,  a  conspicuous  mark,  in  the  interior  oi  the 
.'ortificalions.  tuilt  by  governor  Picton,  on  Abeirrombie  heightB.  In  sailing 
ip,  you  will  see  the  forts  on  Gaspar  Grande  and  Point  de  Guard,  for  protec- 
ilon  of  the  Carreuagc  and  Chagaranius;  and  further  up,  the  shipping  oil  the 
'own. 

Heavy  laden  vessels,  not  calculated  for  beating,  we  would  advise  to  run  down 
in  lat.  10«  10'  N.  make  the  S.  E.  point  of  the  island,  run  down  the  south  side, 
and  enter  the  Gulf  of  Paiia  by  the  Serpent's  mou'.h.  There  arc  no  dangers  in 
running  down  this  channel,  and  you  will  have  from  12  to  5  fathoms  through, 
keeping  the  land  of  Trini<lad  nearest  on  board.  In  entering  the  Gulf,  keep  an 
close  as  possible  to  Point  de  los  Gallo,  or  Cock's  point,  to  avoid  the  Soldi«r 
keys.  Vvheu  in,  liiirup.  Poit  of  Spain  town  lies  N.  E.  distant  12  leagues. 
Iu  nmning  for  the  S.  £.  point  and  south  side,  you  will  have  soundings  before 
you  make  the  land.     Should  nialit  come  on  you  may  anchor  in  the  channel. 

Ou  the  N.  side  of  the  island  of  Trinidad  is  a  narrow  ridge  of  high  mountains, 
running  the  whole  length  from  E.  to  W  ;  the  other  parts  are  moderately  low, 
-\cept  on  the  south  side,  where  there  arc  several  hills.

his  own  jiidmiieni  and  fidelity,  and  are,  in  all  cases,  ol  the  ui most  importance  to  the  inlertsts  ol 
his  owners. 

He  should  never  attempt  a  brojch  of  embarfocs,  blockades,  or  other  reslraiiils,  boiny,  in  most 
cases  personally  responsible,  il  any  daiiiace  should  ensue. 

Passeniicrs  on  board  a  vessel  are  entitled  to  all  !he  accomrnnc'.ations,  convenieiiries  and  nlten- 
tioiis  from  the  iiiaslcr,  which  the  nature  ol  the  vessel  and  voy:ii;e,  and  the  lerms  oftheir  af;rcc!iient

not  conveyed  to  lh.j  port  •■!  bis  destination  according  to  Ins  contract.

Unnccesaary  deviations  Irom  thedireci  conrse  of  the  voyaue  ought  r.evr  Ui  be  allempieil.— 
Not  only  the  policies  on  both  /essel  and  cargo  are  by  this  mean-,  va<  ated,  but  the  properly  sub-

ill  hiscniiTse,  is  a  deviation.  A  permission,  in  the  policy,  to  touch  and  stay,  will  not  authorize 
tlie  master  to  break  bulk  and  trade. 

On  entering  ports,  or  navigating  difficult  passage",  where  the  custom  of  ihe  trade  has  stationed 
jiilnts,  It  is  the  duty  of  ilie  master  to  take  one  on  board,  and  by  no  means  to  proceed  wiihon>  md

should,  therclorc,  inlurra  hinisell  of  these  on  Ins  first  arrival,  and  be  scrupulous  in  conloiming 
liiinsell  to  them  during  his -lay.  All  the  dani.ige  which  ensues  in  cuiise(}ueiice  of  a  breach  of 
them,  will  eventually  lali  on  him. 

I'ort  dues  and  charges  are  payable  by  the  captain  ;  and  his  vessel,  cables,  anchors,  5cc.  may  be 
distrained,  not  only  till  these,  but  even  till  his  own  personal  dibts  are  paid.
